Star Anise

Star Anise, scientifically known as Illicium Verum, is a medium-sized evergreen tree native to Northeast Vietnam and Southwest China, with its origins tracing back to Southeastern China. The commercial production of Star Anise is primarily concentrated in China and Vietnam, although it is also cultivated to a lesser extent in India, particularly in Arunachal Pradesh. This aromatic spice is commonly referred to as Star Anise, Star Aniseed, Chinese Star Anise, or Badian, and it derives from the unique fruit of a small Oriental tree. Its defining characteristic is its star-shaped structure, with each fruit typically consisting of between five to ten pointed, boat-shaped sections, averaging around eight. These rigid sections encase the seed pods within.
