Anise (/ˈænɪs/;[3] Pimpinella anisum), also called aniseed or rarely anix,[4] is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae[2] native to the eastern Mediterranean region and Southwest Asia.[5]

The flavor and aroma of its seeds have similarities with some other spices and herbs, such as star anise,[4] fennel, liquorice, and tarragon. It is widely cultivated and used to flavor food, candy, and alcoholic drinks, especially around the Mediterranean.
