Star Anise is a spice derived from the fruit of a small evergreen tree native to northeast Vietnam and southern China. The fruit is star-shaped, with eight pointed pods that contain the seeds used for culinary and medicinal purposes. Star anise has a strong, sweet, and licorice-like flavor, making it a key ingredient in many Asian dishes and spice blends, such as Chinese five-spice powder. In traditional medicine, star anise is used for its antimicrobial, antifungal, and digestive benefits, often in teas or as an oil.*
