PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

The unusual, star-shaped fruit of a small oriental tree, star anise is picked before it ripens, dried, and sold as a spice. Star anise, as the name suggests, is star-shaped. It is hard, about an inch high, with five to ten (usually eight) segments and a dark brown rust-like color. Due to the presence of a chemical compound called anethole, star anise has a licorice-like taste, similar to anise, but stronger.
