ORIGIN · IDUKKI, KERALA

Culinary star anise, correctly identified

Culinary star anise is the dried fruit of Illicium verum. Each star has six to ten pointed segments, each holding one shiny seed; the aroma comes from anethole, the same compound that flavours anise and fennel.

It must never be confused with Japanese star anise (Illicium anisatum), which is not edible. Our star anise is Illicium verum, from Idukki, Kerala.
