    Tips on buying quality aniseed

    Our recommendation with aniseed is to first make sure you’re buying the high grade Turkish variety of the spice. This aniseed is extremely aromatic, and has a beautiful liquorice / cardamom smell which should be smelt instantly upon opening a packet. Aniseed is also bright coloured, and has small stems on the end. In case stems are missing, it’s very likely that you instead have the much cheaper, more ordinary spice, Carom Seeds! These look nearly identical except for this fact, and a slight colour variation. In case you’re still unsure, please refer to our quality and grade standards here when buying good quality whole Aniseed.
