MM - Chinese star anise
Chinese star anise, or star anise, is the fruit of the Chinese badian (Illicium verum), used as a spice in cooking and for herbal teas for its anise flavor. The fruit is composed of a woody polyfollicle with eight carpels each containing a shiny seed. It thus forms a very characteristic eight-pointed star, hence the vernacular name of star anise. The fruits are picked green, before being dried in the sun, where they take a reddish brown color.
