Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Anise

  • Metabolic Effect: Anise has digestive and gas-relieving properties. Thanks to the fiber it contains, it can regulate bowel movements and help with constipation.
  • Consumption Recommendation: You can brew anise as tea or add it to your dishes as a spice. It is ideal for adding flavor to fish and chicken dishes in particular.
  • Things to Consider: Excessive consumption of anise may cause allergic reactions in some people. It is important for pregnant and breastfeeding women to consult their doctor about anise consumption.
  • Exercise Equivalent: It is enough to walk at a light pace for about 1 minute to burn the calories from one teaspoon of anise. However, considering the benefits of anise, you should consume it for your health, not to burn these calories.
