It's the black anis seed?:) Rose
Wow! You're fast ;) Stay tuned for an upcoming post on my hunt for the black anise...
I have a source for black anise seeds if anyone is interested.
Can I have your source for black anise seeds?
I acquired a small amount of black anise when I was in Calabria. What I learned when I was there is that it is a wild plant (selvatico) and no one is interested in collecting the seeds any more. A few people had tried but, at the time, were still not able to cultivate the wild plant.
