Jalpur Star Anise Whole

It's easy to recognize anise star pods: They usually look like an eight-pointed star. This fruit of a tree in magnolia family native to China and Vietnam produces tough-skinned, rust-colored fruits that are picked and dried before ripening. Anise star pods are hotter, more pungent, more bitter, and much more licorice-like than the European anise. Anise star pods are used in Chinese cooking, where foods are cooked for a long time in soy sauce. The herb is used to flavormarbled eggs and many Asian soups, in Thai iced tea, and in Peking duck. Anise star pods are also chewed after a meal as a traditional breath mint and carminative.
