CONT

A star-shaped, dark brown pod that contains a pea-sized seed in each of its eight segments. Native to China, star anise comes from a small evergreen tree. Although the flavor of its seeds is derived from anethol (the same oil that gives ANISE seed its pronounced flavor), star anise has a different heritage, the magnolia family. Its flavor is slightly more bitter than that of regular anise seed. In Asian cuisines, star anise is a commonly used spice and tea flavoring. It's also widely used to flavor LIQUEURS and baked goods in Western cultures.

OBS

Used in pharmacy, but mainly in the food industry (condiments, liquors, various beverages).

OBS

It is sometimes confused with "Japanese star anise" (Illicium anisatum L.; I. religiosum Sieb. & Zucc.; I. japonicum Sieb.) which contains a toxic lactone called anisatin.
