🌿 What is Star Anise?

Star anise comes from the fruit of the Illicium verum tree, native to China and Vietnam. It has a sweet, slightly peppery, liquorice flavour and is used in both savoury and sweet dishes.

In Indian cooking, it is added to biryanis, curries, and masalas for depth of flavour. In Chinese cuisine, it is a key ingredient in five-spice powder and braised dishes.
