}Explanation
Use 136 g per US cup as the reference when converting anise from cups to grams.
Recipe scaling stays tied to the US cup standard (236.588 mL) rather than to mixed cup charts. Anise can vary with whether the seeds are whole, crushed, or ground and with how densely they settle, so the page keeps one fixed basis for comparison.

Methodology
Anise: cups to grams evidence
Anise is a dried aromatic seed obtained from the Pimpinella anisum plant, valued for its intense licorice-like aroma and warm sweetness. It is used as a spice to impart distinctive anise character in culinary and botanical preparations.
Practical use: Anise is used as a dry aromatic spice to add licorice notes, warmth, and fragrance. It functions as a flavoring agent when crushed, infused, or gently heated, contributing aroma rather than texture or structure.
Ingredient characteristics: Anise delivers a bold licorice-driven aroma with perceived sweetness, soft herbal undertones, and gentle warmth. Its flavor is aromatic and persistent, with low bitterness and no acidity.
Direction calculation: Anise — 1 US cup equals 136 grams. Reference: 136 g/US cup. Source basis: and1 ingredient weight chart: 1 cup anise = 136 g https://www.and1.com/measurements/cups-in-gram/
