difference between anise and licorice
Liquorice (British English) or licorice (American English), (/ËlÉªkrÉªÊ, ËlÉªkÉr-, -Éªs/ LIK-(É-)rish, LIK-(É-)ris) is the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra from which a sweet flavour can be extracted. The liquorice plant is a herbaceous perennial legume native to southern Europe and parts of Asia, such as India. It is not botanically related to anise, star anise, or fennel, which are sources of similar flavouring compounds.
Anise is an herb. The seed (fruit) and oil, and less frequently the root and leaf, are used to make medicine. Anise is used for upset stomach, intestinal gas, ârunny nose,â and as an expectorant to increase productive cough, as a diuretic to increase urine flow, and as an appetite stimulant.
