 Ideal for Baking, Tea & Savoury Cooking Whole aniseed is traditionally used in breads, biscuits, biscotti, cakes and pastries, and can also bring aromatic sweetness to fruit dishes, curries, stews, pickles and marinades. For the freshest flavour, lightly toast the seeds in a dry pan before grinding them with a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. They can also be steeped whole when making aromatic drinks and infusions.
