Anise Seeds
Pimpinella anisum L.
Egyptian Anise Seeds (Pimpinella anisum) are cultivated in the fertile soils of Upper Egypt and the Nile Delta, yielding seeds with an exceptionally high trans-anethole volatile oil content. The distinct warm, liquorice-like aroma makes Egyptian anise a benchmark standard for European herbal tea blenders, liqueur manufacturers (Ouzo, Pastis, Sambuca), and pharmaceutical formulators.
Industrial Applications:
Herbal tea & infusion blending, anise-flavored spirits and liqueurs (Ouzo, Pastis, Sambuca, Arak), bakery (anise bread, biscuits), confectionery, toothpaste & mouthwash flavoring, digestive pharmaceutical preparations.
