Star anise is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful spices. It has a flavor similar to aniseed, but more intense.
Star anise is a versatile, brownish dried fruit in the shape of an eight-pointed star. Originally from southwest Asia, star anise is widely used by the Chinese as a culinary spice. In addition, Star Anise Tea is used to treat respiratory and intestinal problems. This sweet-smelling spice reached the European continent in the mid-1580s and was only used to flavor sweets and liqueurs. In Chinese culture, star anise is mixed with fennel seeds, cloves, Ceylon cinnamon and Sichuan peppercorns as a traditional seasoning in various dishes. This plant can also be called Chinese Aniseed or Chinese Fennel.
Star anise is also great for infusions. Star anise contains a high concentration of ethanol in its chemical composition. Thanks to this, it is very effective in combating the effects of various digestive problems. It is also an excellent ally in curing the flu. And these are the main specialties of this medicinal spice.
A very interesting feature of star anise is the presence of a rounded seed at each end. In addition to its culinary potential, star anise has medicinal properties that can contribute to good intestinal and respiratory function. Aniseed tea can help relieve pain, fight bad breath and strengthen defenses. This effect on physical and mental well-being is due to the high amount of essential nutrients it contains. These nutrients include proteins, vitamins and healthy fats. Eliminate bad breath by carefully chewing a few pieces of Star Anise.
