Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Kathy, I have also used jicama in salads. The anise adds a nice flavor to carrot juice, if you like to do juicing. I only used the base (the store didn't have the tops attached.) Jeff >I bought anise and jimaca... >I have no clue how to eat these??? Do you eat the leafy part of the anise.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Hello Everyone, Beautiful day here in NJ. Breezy and cool but still nice. Rain coming for Monday but that is ok I wanted to say also on the Jicama that I made a guacamole and sliced the Jicama and used it to dip. I finally found my perfect dipper. It satifies the crunch and tastes great. I think of anise as licorice. I bet I am wrong. What does it look like? I don't think I have seen it in my supermarket or maybe it was there and I could not identify it as the names are often not by the right products. I lucked out with the Jicama though..lol Have a beautiful weekend Tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 I believe the plant being talked of is actually fennel (Foeniculum dulce). Fennel has a bulb at its base and feathery leaves on stalks. It grows wild around here (Santa Cruz, California). Anise (Pimpinella anisum) and Licorice (Glycyrrhiza) are completely different plants although all three have that flavor we think of as licorice or anise. >. >I think of anise as licorice.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Hi guys, Fennel is also harvested in many countries like India. I know when I went there, our farmers brought me fresh fennel from our farms. It looks like a flower, it is very tasty, Indians always eat dried fennel after meals because it masks odors and helps digestion. I believe that it also has a cooling effect on your body. Take care.

Kathy, This sounds like Fennel. Is it the same thing or something similar? I love fennel and it is great to juice! I have never tried or seen anise (unless they are one and the same??)
