Anise, also called aniseed or Pimpinella anisum, is a plant that hails from the same family as carrots, celery and parsley.
It can grow up to 3 feet (1 meter) tall and produces flowers and a small white fruit known as anise seed.
Anise has a distinct, licorice-like taste and is often used to add flavor to desserts and drinks.
It’s also known for its powerful health-promoting properties and acts as a natural remedy for a wide variety of ailments.
Here are 7 benefits and uses of anise seed, backed by science:
Anise seed is low in calories but contains a good amount of several important minerals, including iron, manganese and calcium.
Human and animal studies reveal that anise seed may help reduce symptoms of depression and may be as effective as some types of antidepressants.
Though research is extremely limited, anise seed reduced stomach acid secretion and protected against stomach ulcer formation in one animal study.
Test-tube studies show that anise seed and its components may decrease the growth of certain strains of fungi and bacteria.
Anise seed and its compounds may reduce hot flashes and prevent bone loss, but more research is needed.
Animal studies show that anethole may lower blood sugar and improve the function of insulin-producing cells.
Animal and test-tube studies have found that anise seed is high in antioxidants and can reduce inflammation to help prevent chronic disease.
Most people can safely consume anise without the risk of adverse side effects.
However, it could trigger an allergic reaction, especially if you’re allergic to plants in the same family — such as fennel, celery, parsley or dill.
Additionally, anise’s estrogen-mimicking properties could worsen symptoms of hormone-sensitive conditions, like breast cancer or endometriosis (11Trusted Source, 20Trusted Source).
If you have a history of these conditions, keep intake in moderation and talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
If you have anise seeds, vodka, and a small jar, you can make anise extract. Then you can use it for making biscotti or add it to a shot of espresso for some extra gusto.
