🌿 What is Star Anise?

Star anise comes from the fruit of the evergreen tree Illicium verum, native to China and Vietnam. Its distinctive star-shaped pods contain seeds that carry a strong, sweet-spicy flavour similar to liquorice.

It is a key ingredient in Chinese five-spice powder and is also used widely in Indian masala blends, especially for biryanis and garam masala.
