Organic star anise <\/strong>, with its distinctive shape and flavour, is fast becoming one of the world’s most sought-after spices, especially for its potential health benefits. Its relative availability and price make it an excellent choice for culinary and medical applications worldwide. <\/p>\n

What is star anise?<\/em>
\nStar anise is actually the hardened fruit of a tree known scientifically as Illicium verum<\/em>. This hardened fruit, which originates from Southeast Asia and parts of China, is often ground into a powder that is used as a spice in certain products and dishes. This star has been used for thousands of years in cooking and traditional medicine. The name star anise is a combination of its anise-like shape and taste. Although the plants are not related, the anethole in both plants imparts the distinctive flavour of liquorice, which is why it is so popular in cooking. The most popular spices containing star anise are the Chinese ‘5 spice blend’<\/em> and the Indian ‘Garam masala’.<\/em>
\nThis star-shaped spice is highly coveted because of its active chemical compounds, especially those found in the oil of star anise. This star also contains a compound called shikimic acid, which is a very important part of anti-flu medicines around the world. The extraction and processing of this acid takes a whole year, so the price of star anise is mainly driven by the global demand for anti-flu medicines.
\nThe calorie count of star anise is also quite low – only 23 calories per tablespoon.<\/p>\n

Uses<\/em>
\nOrganic star anise is used for desserts, cakes, compote, tea.<\/p>\n

Star anise tea<\/em>
\nStar anise tea is produced all over the world as a reliable remedy for a wide range of respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal disorders and hormone imbalances.
\n Ingredients:
\n300 ml of water
\n2 star anise
