What is green anise?
Green anise (Pimpinella anisum) is a small oval seed, greyish-white to light greenish, with a dry, crunchy texture. It is also called habba hlaoua in the Maghreb. It should not be confused with star anise, a different spice shaped like a star, with a stronger, more peppery taste, which grows on a tree in Asia.
How to use it?
The whole seeds slip into bread doughs, flatbreads and dry biscuits such as anise crunchies. They can also be infused as a herbal tea or mixed into a mint tea. To release more of their flavour, crush them lightly in a mortar just before use, or dry-toast them for a few seconds in a hot pan.
What to pair it with?
Whole green anise pairs with SAMIA whole green cardamom, SAMIA cinnamon sticks and SAMIA crushed sweet mint for herbal teas and oriental pastries. The Moroccan and Maghrebi cuisine section brings these products together.
