產品描述

Star Anise Fruit is a completely different plant from Star Fruit.

The tree that Star Anise Fruit comes from is called the "Indian Almond." The tree can grow up to 25 feet (8 meters.) It's an evergreen that will grow true to seed, and so is propagated that way.

The fruit is quite small, only about 1 1/4 inches tall (3 cm.) It grows in the shape of a star, with anywhere from 5 to 10 points, though the average is a minimum of 8 points. The fruit is picked unripe, then dried in the sun to a brown color. The fruit is always dried, and never eaten fresh.

Once dried, it is mostly ground up into a reddish-brown powder for use as a spice. The whole fruit is ground, as is. The flavor is actually in the fruit itself, not the seed. The powder has a more pronounced liquorices taste than does anise, as well as being sweeter than Anise. In China, the powder is used in the spice mix called Five Spice Power. In the West, it is used in the West mainly as a substitute for Anise, which is more expensive.

China is the major exporter; Star Anise is used in making Anisette, Pastis and Pernod liqueurs.
