When is the best time to harvest anise seeds?
Anise seeds are typically harvested in late summer to early autumn, just as the seed heads begin to dry and turn brown. Cut the stems and allow them to dry completely indoors before threshing.
Anise (Pimpinella anisum) is an annual herb in the Apiaceae family, known for its distinct licorice-like flavor and aroma. It is widely cultivated for its seeds, which are used as a spice and flavoring agent in food and beverages.
