Coming from the evergreen Chinese Illicium verum, it is extracted from the star shaped pods of the fruit of this tree. With a flavour that is vaguely reminiscent of liquorice, it is famed for its distinct culinary applications and health benefits. Exquisite and rare, the spice comes from this oriental tree found in the far reaches of China. It first entered Europe in the 17th century, and has since become popular there as an unusual oriental spice that comes in whole star-shaped form or ground to a red-brown powder.
