Anise is native to the eastern Mediterranean region, the Levant, and Egypt. Many of these relatives have been described as having a licorice flavour, to some extent, but anise is the true taste of licorice its oils are distilled into the flavouring for licorice candy (not from the herb licorice, which has a different taste). I can't stop eating licorice once I start, but I grew up with the shit, so I'm just awesome (Iceland represent!).Īnise bears a strong family resemblance to the members of the carrot family, that includes dill, fennel, coriander, cumin and caraway. I mean real, honest to god, imported licorice shipped straight from them to your door. I don't mean All Sorts and I don't mean Black Panda. You want real fucking licorice made with real licorice AND anise in a most delectable and awesome can't-put-it-down way? Buy some licorice from Iceland or Sweden. Jelly beans as a whole are just imitation flavors and don't represent any of their counterparts well at all.Īlso, Jelly Belly Jelly Beans list their black beans as "licorice" and not "anise," so it's safe to say that, at least in JB, it's "licorice" and not "anise."
It's imitation licorice and tastes nothing like the real stuff. I LOVE licorice, fucking LOVE IT, and I REFUSE to eat the black jelly beans. Licorice is slightly sweeter than anise, which has more of an herbal taste to it.īesides, they're fucking jelly beans.
Anise and licorice are extremely similar in taste, so this is a moot point.
