Star Anise is the star-shaped seed pod from the fruit of the evergreen shrub tree illicium verum plant, originating in Southwest China.
How to use star anise? Star Anise naturally enriches a sweet-licorice-peppery flavor in food. Star anise can be used whole or ground to a powder. It usually is put in liquids destined for a slow simmer or braise. If used whole, it is normally removed from the dish before serving.
A common additive in traditional Asian dishes, this warming, sweet spice can be stewed in broths and braises to add on the extra depth of flavor.
