Product Description

Star anise, star aniseed, badiane or Chinese star anise, (Chinese: , pinyin: Bajiao, lit. "eight-horn"; Malayalam: ) or hoa hoi (Vietnamese) is a spice that closely resembles anise in flavor, obtained from the star-shaped pericarp of Illicium verum, a small native evergreen tree of southwest China. The star shaped fruits are harvested just before ripening. It is widely used in Chinese cuisine, in Indian cuisine where it is a major component of garam masala, and in Malay Indonesian cuisine. It is widely grown for commercial use in China, India, and most other countries in Asia. Star anise is an ingredient of the traditional five-spice powder of Chinese cooking. It is also a major ingredient in the making of pho, a Vietnamese noodle soup. In northern India, where it is used as an ingredient of Masala Chai, it is also known as badian khatai which leads to its European name badiane. Badian is the Persian name of Anise. It is said that its origin is a place called "Khata" in China. It is used as a spice in preparation of Biryani all over the Indian Subcontinent.
