Anise  
Known as far back as at least 1500 b.c., this small annual  
plant is a member of the parsley family. Both the leaves  
and seed have a distinctive, sweet licorice flavor. The  
greenish brown, comma−shaped anise seed perfumes and  
flavors a variety of confections as well as savory dishes.  
It's also used to flavor drinks such as Pastis, Arrack,  
Anisette and Ouzo. Anise seed plays an important role  
in the cooking of Southeast Asia. Chinese cooks are  
more likely to use Star Anise than anise seed.
