Description
Star anise organic
is a spice from the star anise plant, which originally comes from Northeast China. Star anise is very similar in flavor to anise, and is widely used in Chinese cooking, and to a lesser extent in South Asian and Indonesian cooking. Star anise is one of the ingredients in the Chinese five-spice powder (the others are: szezhuan pepper, cinnamon, cloves and fennel).
Star anise contains anethole, the same substance that gives anise its flavor. In recent times, star anise has begun to be used as a cheaper alternative to anise in baking as well as in liqueur brewing. The anise spice is used in the South Jutland version of a peppercorn, called "museeh".
