Anise, also known as star anise, are the star-shaped fruit of the Illicium verum tree, which is native to Southwest China and Vietnam. This small evergreen tree produces the fruit that is harvested and dried for its distinct flavor and medicinal properties. The fruit typically has 8-10 segments, each containing a hard seed. Star anise has a strong, sweet, and licorice-like aroma with hints of clove and fennel, making it a key ingredient in Chinese Five-Spice Powder and a popular flavoring in both savory and sweet dishes across Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines.
The plant’s medicinal uses date back to ancient times, with the fruit being used to treat digestive issues, coughs, and colds. Star anise is rich in anethole, the compound responsible for its distinct licorice flavor, and is known for its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.
