Anise, star anise and Fennel: what’s the difference?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Anise is often confused with<\/span> star anise<\/b><\/a> (Ilicium verum.) and<\/span> Fennel<\/b><\/a> (Foeniculum vulgare), but they are not the same plants. Star anise is from the same family but with a sweeter flavour and a more intense aroma. Fennel is also from the same family but with a more bitter flavour and a more herbaceous aroma.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anise can be consumed in various ways: in infusions, essential oils, pastries, cooking. Its seeds are frequently the preferred form of consumption, but its stalks and leaves can also be used.<\/span><\/p>\n
