SAMIA ground green anise is made from anise seeds reduced to a fine powder, ready to use. It instantly releases its mild, liquorice-like flavour into pastries, desserts and hot drinks. 100 g bag.
Whole or ground anise?
It is the same green anise seed (Pimpinella anisum) as the SAMIA whole version, simply reduced to powder. The ground form blends in directly, with no grinding step, but it loses its flavour faster than the whole seed: the aromatic oil, exposed to the air over the whole surface of the powder, evaporates more quickly.
How to use it?
Add a pinch to a cake batter, biscuits, a brioche bread or doughnuts. Ground anise also pairs with stewed fruit, dessert creams and hot drinks. Add it towards the end of preparation instead, as the ground form releases its aromas faster than the whole seed.
What to pair it with?
Ground green anise pairs with SAMIA ground cinnamon and SAMIA whole green cardamom for oriental pastries. For recipes that call for whole seeds, see SAMIA whole green anise. The Moroccan and Maghrebi cuisine section brings these products together. In the same section: ESPIG ground green anise.
