Detailed description
Green anise, Pimpinella anisum, an annual plant of the Apiaceae family, is native to the Mediterranean and Western Asia. Its aromatic seeds have been used for thousands of years in culinary and phytotherapeutic traditions for their multiple functional benefits.
Green anise seeds contain a high concentration of essential oils, mainly trans-anethol, estragole and methylchavicol. They are also rich in flavonoids, polyphenols and phenolic acids. These compounds help protect cells against free radicals thanks to their antioxidant properties.
Traditionally, green anise is used to support digestive comfort and respiratory functions. Modern research confirms its properties in maintaining natural defenses. In addition, it is appreciated for its soothing effects and its ability to support intestinal balance.
