Anise

Anise has long been known for its aid in digestion, which is why the Romans ended their elaborate feasts with anise cakes. With its sweet licorice taste,  anise is featured heavily in cakes, cookies and liquors.  In small amounts, anise makes a nice addition to sausage or in tomato sauce.  The whole, star shaped spice has a strong licorice flavor and aroma, use star anise pieces in a pot of stew or in pickling blends.  Also nice for craft projects.
