Licorice is from a root. You were showing a picture of star anise which is not the same as anise seeds. They both have the licorice flavor, but there are differences. Star anise is used a lot in Asian cooking.
Anise seed is the flavour of Ouzo, which is a Greek alcoholic drink and probably why it was added to the spice mix by Steve’s family. A traditional taste of the old country.
I finally got to try some of your hard candies, a while back I considered a purchase but 18$ shipping felt excessive, this time I said what the heck because I was so curious. I LOVE the flavor of your hard candies they are great and long lasting. You guys show so much care in how you package the candy and the packaging materials are high quality which definitely justifies the cost the old saying "you get what you pay for" is definitely apropos and I will definitely be ordering again, love the candy!! Should've purchased it the first time I checked out your store😍
Maybe to put into perspective the flavorings that were available to "early" candy makers... were the spices... the other fruity flavors came along a long time after. Early candy makers were just so ecstatic to have sugar at their disposal... they didn't really consider all the other options they had to flavor the candy. To me... this is why original "ribbon candy" at the holiday season (when I was a kid about 100 years ago) was always spiced flavors. It looked so pretty, but as kids, it was really kind of yucky.
Green should be an acceptable color for anise as star anise is an evergreen tree in Vietnam and China. Love your videos. You ate all so much fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your candy life!
There are so many different licorice tastes. Sadly my favorite discontinued but I still love others. It's also funny: most from North Germany like licorice South not so much
Historically black licorice is ammonium chloride and not made with anise and other similar ingredients 😊 Taste is pretty similar but real black licorice is way different especially when comparing side by side 👍
I have always wondered if you made sugar free candy. I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and as you can guess sugar is not my friend. If you don't maybe you could have Witch Helga do a little majic and remove the sugar. Regardless of the diabetes I really love watching your videos, you all seem to have a good time and it seems to be a great place to work. Thanks for making these videos and keep up the good work.
I am Type 2 diabetic too. My doctor said all things within reason. Candy, while not exactly good was hard to avoid at all costs so she just recommended that i limit myself.
I hate anise, but love clove. Mom used to make what we called 'crystal candy' when I was a kid and would get the oils from the pharmacy. Also, 'Very Interesting' is from Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. Arte Johnson used to play an inept German soldier and say that. Loved Hogan's Heroes though!
I love anise and black licorice! My siblings always gave me the black jellybeans out of their Easter Baskets. If I see anise candy in packages, I scoop it up and horde it for weeks. My maternal grandmother loved it, too, and shared her knowledge with me when I was quite young! 💕💕💕
Yes, my mom loved it and shared it with me. I think you have to be exposed to it when you're young to truly love licorice. People who didn't have it when they're young are missing out!😊
@@PCTLadyPuterTutor Only if it contains actual licorice root (most of what is called licorice these days does not) and only if you eat an insane amount of it.
Just received my spice candy after being notified via email. I'm so glad to get this. I love clove and anise (Clove and Blackjack gums also BlackJack taffy). Fantastic.
The spice flavors are my fave. I love anise, clove, cinnamon, molasses, ginger. Wintergreen taste and smell is disgusting but love peppermint and spearmint. I would order things all year round, the candy prices are fine but the extreme shipping costs, which with some things couldn't be avoided, but makes the orders more than I can afford on a fixed income.
Mmmmmm black licorice/anise.. sooo good..one of my favorites. Growing up, there was a older lady who lived on our street who made these Anise cookies. They were sort of like a Biscotti biscuit. Great with hot coffe or hot cocoa ot some teas. All you have to do is store them away in a tin can and they would last forever... The older they became they would become rock hard.. almost dangerous weapon rock hard... LoL. But they were sooo good. You heat them up just a little and they softened enough to eat.. still hard and a bit dry..but crunchy,,?? I miss them.
He hits it with a hammer bc the hook is cold & the candy sticks to it. My father-in-law LOVES anise. I make hard candy for Christmas, he’s the only one that eats it. My house smells like it for a day.
I think Anise is a "cultural" flavor. If you grew up Italian, for example. I don't have a sense smell but I like the taste of anise, or what seems to me anise.
There are a couple of 'old fashioned' flavours in Australia, and Anise is one of them (but we call it Aniseed). Growing up, we'd have aniseed sticks (also called slate pencils - which will date them). The other one is Musk. Both are not popular in younger generations, but are for us oldies. I think cloves as a flavour goes back to 1800's? Was used as a breath freshener.
I can confirm there is a difference in taste between real licorice and anise. My father can't taste the difference but I can. Maybe it's one of those weird genes like the bitter gene where some have the taste buds to know the difference and some not
I love Dutch salt liquorice. Not many people that aren't Dutch like it. Anise comes from a spice plant that looks like a star. Liquorice is from the liquorice plant root as far as I know. Love your videos. Thanks for still doing them and making everyone feel a part of your large Hercules family ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, it does, but they're all closely related, which is why it all tastes and smells similar. It's not just the seed pod of the anise plant that tastes like anise. Every part of the anise plant tastes like anise. Some parts of the plant have a stronger taste than others.
There's aniseed/sweet anise (pimpinella anisum) looks a lot like fennel (foeniculum vulgare) but while you can eat the whole fennel plant, anise is just grown for the seeds. then there's the asian version, star anise (illicium verum) that spice is usually used in chinese cooking.
@danielcarter305 Yeah I sometimes put a couple of Anise "Stars" in a cup pour hot water on and have "liquorice" tea. I can't get liquorice tea where I live on its own. It has so many other spices added I can't taste it.
@@MazzyJC I hate that! I love peach tea. An Asian girlfriend of mine turned me on to it years ago. I believe either her family in aisa made it or bought it in their homeland and sent it to her. It was so good. Most of the peach teas I find on the internet are blends with other things. I have never been able to find the exact peach tea she got foe me though.
Im Hispanic and we always use Anise in biscochito cookies for now for the holidays but it DOES NOT give a licorice smell or taste it actually gives a very cinnamony shortbread taste!! So its very interesting how in candy its such a different taste and smell!
Salmiac licorice is a northern European confection. Basically it's hard black licorice with ammonium chloride. The only reason I know about it is because it was offered to an anime character who thought it was chocolate and promptly threw up when she put a few in her mouth. Let's just say I'm kinda glad Ikea didn't bring that and lutefisk over here.
Main difference is that anise flavour comes from the seeds of Pimpinella Anisum, where liquorice comes from the roots of Glycyrrhiza Glabra. Anise is spicier in flavour and is not sweet. Liquorice root, on the other hand, is more mild and contains a natural sweetener that is 50 times sweeter than cane sugar.
The the oil extracted from anise seed consists of trans-anethole (85.69%), limonene (2.92%) (also found in orange peel!), chavicol (2.69%), and anisaldehyde (1.79%). At Princeton University (and many many other schools), the organic chemistry students do a steam distillation of the crushed seeds (from dried Star Anise flowers) to obtain the oil. Some to the components are actually foul-tasting and it might be best to use pure trans-anethole, though it's more expensive and probably seldom done.
In Brazil, anise candies are blue. There are jelly beans anise favored, kids hate it! We have cinnamon candy (they're very spicy and dangerously round like a slippery ball), too, and kids don't often like ir too. Unfortunately there are no clove, licorice or fennel candies. Guess I'll have to wait till I can visit Hercules Candy so I can try those. ❤❤
Anise comes from Pimpinella anisum, licorice comes from Glycyrrhiza glabra. Most licorice candy in the US is flavoured with anise, because the glycyrrizhin in licorice root can cause edema and is dangerous if you have high blood pressure.
It's always a Hercules vidya that drives each season home for me.. as of I've just been oblivious to the fact it's fall, or winter etc. One of these vidyas and it sinks in. The holiday spirit is around the corner. See ya next time yall ❤🎃🍂🍁.. Craig, we need a Halloween store tour! Please 😌
@@HerculesCandy you're absolutely right.. and i watched the replays and forgot I did 🤦🏻♀️😆 I just forget Halloween is a smaller section so i was waiting for some kind of grand finale like Valentine's, Easter, and Christmas.. i apologize 🙈
I love Anise as well as Black Licorice. Did you know you have to limit the amount of licorice you ingest. Eating too much licorice can cause severe side effects. These include: Very high blood pressure Low potassium levels Weakness Paralysis Irregular heart rhythms. I'm pretty sure chocolate just makes your brain happy. lol
Def not a licorice fan. Fun thing I learned from chemistry/cooking: anise, star anise, fennel, and black licorice all contain anisin, which is largely responsible for the smell/taste. And all also taste terrible imo, but useful to know
That "Very interesting..." was actually from "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In"......though the guy that said it was dressed like a German soldier, so was very easy to confuse with Hogan's heroes. It was one of those quick cuts like they did with Goldie Hawn dancing and "Sock it to me time".
Love it to death. There is a licorice root and bark. It is hard to find it in hard candy form. Only in Italian bakeries that i know of. The Anise seed is different then the bark and root but you can find more info on google. Holand uses it a lot too.
Licorice is a perennial herb that's native to Western Asia, North Africa, and Southern Europe. It's also known as Glycyrrhiza glabra. Licorice is used as a flavoring in: Confectionery, Tobacco, Beverages, Pharmaceuticals.
OMG I just received my shipment and man is that Anise soooo good! Thanks for saying in the video how to get it (by getting the spice mix). I love spice candy. You can bet I stuffed some of that green and white candy in my face the moment I opened the box!!
1:14 "Veerrry interesting, but stupid" was Arte Johnson on Laugh-In, not Hogan's Heroes. Schultz's line from Hogan's Heroes was, "I see nothing. NOTHING."
I think it's a British childhood thing, with kids of a certain age growing up with aniseed balls. Kind of like gobstoppers, but with a seed in the middle. Also remember them making my tongue and teeth go read. I love Marmite, but not sure it'd work in a candy, although it does make roasted peanuts taste nicer. And sadly, can't eat some of the Indian candies flavoured with corriander/cilantro as I have the gene that makes it taste very nasty. Strange the way different cultures favour different candy styles and flavours though!
I adore anise. I regularly make batches of an anisette biscotti from my Aunt's Italian bakery family. Clove is super, too. In the assorted of spice gum drops the white ones are clove. Bring it on. Just keep the cilantro away -- even the smell of that turns my stomach.
i love Anise, and Clove....i have never had a Molasses candy....might have to order some😊...Love watching you all in action, looks like a nice Family Business; Keep on making the Yummy's💜💜
Anyone else get a good laugh from the system's caption replacement for "anise?" No, just me? 😂😂😂😂😂 Love y'all! And my dad and i love black licorice, this would be fun to try! I just can't do cinnamon.
I used to hate black licorice as a kid, and came to love it after I graduated from high school. Oddly enough, my husband hated it until he tried an anise caramel I had gotten, and he loves it now.
Here in the UK it's pronounced Aniseed and has been very popular since I was a child in the '60's. Seaside Rock is usually Aniseed flavoured. Over here, Cloves are used in food as a flavouring, but also they are used as a remedy for tooth ache and when the oil is rubbed on the gums it relieves the pain but it's also disgusting to taste.
Hi Craig & Family, just wanted to drop a quick note because I received my package today. Thank you very much for the thoughtful packing and I love the little pen that was included. Hope you all have a great weekend.
I ordered 2 bags of the Anise one time. It was so good! I need to get more money & beg for more. Licorice Root isn't used as much as Anise (aniseed) for Licorice flavored items.
A candy shop in my hometown has not been allowed to stop making their anise suckers - we won't let them! Growing up 70+ yrs ago it was the #1 birthday treat at all the grade schools on the Northside. Well, schools no longer allow candy for treats but old timers like me, our kids and grandkids still buy them by the bag full ot just wander in for one! BTW, licorice is a root but no longer used for flavoring but synthesized using anise. BTW, I make anise biscotti - my favorite ❤
Haven't had yours, but i'm a fan of anise! Our pizzellas at chirstmas are anise--- one of my favorites! I like clove too... Clove gum, just chewing on one until my lips go numb! Have you ever done cardamom?

Oh wow! I haven't had horehound in ages. I agree with you 100% and adore both flavors!
I love black licorice too. I can't find it nowhere anymore.
I adore horehound candy but I despise anise/black licorice.

immediately saw the title and new it was gonna be black licorice (anise). Cant stand it personally but my dad could eat it breakfast lunch and dinner
I can eat it no problem don't see why everyone doesn't like it's bitter and sweet
I said the same thing when I read it. "It's licorice!" I like it though and so does the majority of my family.

I love aniseed flavour!! Especially aniseed twists
Love black licorice but it has to be kookaburra soft licorice- not hard candy, jelly beans, ropes, nothing else. It has medicinal properties.
Here in the UK it's pronounced Aniseed and has been very popular since I was a child in the '60's. Seaside Rock is usually Aniseed flavoured. Over here, Cloves are used in food as a flavouring, but also they are used as a remedy for tooth ache and when the oil is rubbed on the gums it relieves the pain but it's also disgusting to taste.
I haven't seen Hogan's heros in forever! We used to watch it as a family all the time growing up.
What if you added Allspice or nutmeg with cinnamon to any of your apple candy.
I did it to Apple sauce. Made it more of a seasonal taste. loved it.
Hitting the hook with the hammer helps the candy come off easier
Hi Craig & Family, just wanted to drop a quick note because I received my package today. Thank you very much for the thoughtful packing and I love the little pen that was included. Hope you all have a great weekend.
I ordered 2 bags of the Anise one time. It was so good! I need to get more money & beg for more.
Licorice Root isn't used as much as Anise (aniseed) for Licorice flavored items.
A candy shop in my hometown has not been allowed to stop making their anise suckers - we won't let them! Growing up 70+ yrs ago it was the #1 birthday treat at all the grade schools on the Northside. Well, schools no longer allow candy for treats but old timers like me, our kids and grandkids still buy them by the bag full ot just wander in for one! BTW, licorice is a root but no longer used for flavoring but synthesized using anise.
BTW, I make anise biscotti - my favorite ❤
i love anise, of course i grew up with it soo....
Anise is a favorite flavor for me. I love the spice mix. It smells and tastes like christmas to me.
I love anise, fennel and molasses. I imagine I can smell it now this I'm craving it. ❤ lol
Make a candy with fruits flavour like mango, guava, passion fruit , kiwi, pineapple. And make a bag of the fruit mix . Would be so 👌
I don't mind anise (I prefer the balls with the anise seed in the middle as I like chewing on the seed), but I loathe licorice and wintergreen.
Black licorice is one of my favorites, I have always really liked it since I was a little kid and I always Will 😃
My favorite. Just bought the Spice Mix and I pick them all out!
New favorite saying. "Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people".
BTW, just checked, as I thought, licorice was a root, not a seed, and yes, they are different plants.
Black licorice and clove candy has a soothing medicinal value
This is a favorite flavor.
It's really a love/hate flavor!
Haven't had yours, but i'm a fan of anise! Our pizzellas at chirstmas are anise--- one of my favorites! I like clove too... Clove gum, just chewing on one until my lips go numb! Have you ever done cardamom?
Anise candy is green because its the color of Absinthe wich is flavored with Anise
