Where Can You Buy Anise Seed?

[Brewtrog]

I've found a recipe for home made pastis that I'm planning on doing (with a few mods), but it calls for both star anise and anise seed. Obviously star anise is really easy to come across, but I don't have a clue where to get anise from, any ideas anyone? I've looked online at Tesco,Asda, Sainsburys, Waitrose and Holland and Barret but none of them have anise, just star anise.

Just be warned, anise seed from a garden centre is likely to be treated with fungicides that you really don't want in your brew.

Looks like the hippiefood shops have it if the big supermarkets don't, eg:

You could just use more star anise, many producers use it instead of anise as it's cheaper I believe 1 crushed star anise is equal to half a teaspoon of anise seed.
