Star Anise

   
Star Anise
Item description
Star Anise
Illicium verum

Star Anise is the fruit of a small evergreen tree native to southwest China, and now also grown in Japan and Southeast Asia. The plant puts out a small star-shaped fruit with (generally) nine points, and a seed is contained in each of the points. Star Anise can be used whole as a flavoring, its seeds can be used as a flavoring, and both are ground. It is the dominant flavor in Chinese five-spice powder.
Star Anise has been used in Asia to flavor pork and chicken, in teas, and as a seasoning, and, with the advent of fusion cuisine, has spread around the globe. Like aniseed, its flavor comes primarily from the anethole oil, but it is considered more bitter than Anise Seed.
