DESCRIPCTION:
Commonly called star anise because of its shape, this fruit originates from Southeast Asia and is used as a versatile spice in China. It came to Europe to complement sweet recipes and liqueurs, but is becoming increasingly common in more and more dishes.
Star anise, also known as badian, is a very aromatic and popular spice in cooking. Its taste? It is very similar to liquorice, but with a particular and pleasant taste that makes it a very special condiment. It has a sweet and slightly spicy taste, with a hint of aniseed. In addition to its original aroma, its shape also makes it a very particular fruit. At each end of its tips, there is a rounded seed and they are the most important part because they contain all its flavour.
It is used in the preparation of desserts, breads, biscuits and also in the preparation of some drinks, such as the famous aniseed liqueur. In addition to its culinary use, star anise has also been traditionally used for medicinal purposes, as it is believed to have digestive and soothing properties.
