Anise seeds are the seeds of the anise plant and are used as a spice. The figures supplied describe the seeds, rather than an infusion or extract, and are drawn from literature sources. Per 100g, they provide 16g of fat, 18g of protein, 650mg of calcium and 37mg of iron.
Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while calcium contributes to the maintenance of bones and teeth. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. As seeds used for seasoning are generally eaten in small amounts, their nutrient contribution depends on the quantity used. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
