Organic aniseed | whole

What is it about / Product description

Biova Organic Anise comes from controlled organic cultivation in Egypt and is offered as whole, gently dried seeds. The light brown fruits impress with an intensely sweet-spicy aroma and a fine licorice note.

By filling whole anise seeds, the natural essential oils are preserved for a long time and unfold particularly fresh when crushed. Biova relies on careful cleaning, transparent origin and consistent organic quality in a practical 1 kg bag.

In your kitchen, organic anise can be used in many ways – from tea, bread and pastries to desserts and savory dishes. Use the whole seeds flexibly by cooking them whole depending on the recipe or grinding them fresh.

Origin

The anise seeds come from Egypt, a traditional growing region for spice and medicinal plants. The warm, dry climate with many hours of sunshine promotes even ripening and a high content of essential oils.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The anise is grown according to organic guidelines without synthetic pesticides. After full ripeness, the umbels are harvested, gently dried, threshed, thoroughly cleaned and filled as whole seeds into 1 kg bags for Biova.

Special features

Whole anise seeds are significantly more aroma-stable than ground products and are ideal for fresh further processing. Combined with organic quality and clearly defined origin, you receive a natural spice for home and professional kitchens.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the country of origin, the size, color and aroma of the anise seeds vary. Biova’s Egyptian anise is characterized by uniform grain size, light brown to brownish-green coloring and a harmonious, non-intrusive flavor profile.

Taste & aroma

Organic anise smells intensely sweet, warm and slightly licorice-like with fine spicy notes. The taste reveals a mild, rounded sweetness that harmonizes very well with cinnamon, fennel, cardamom and cloves.
