Toasting the ground spice before using sometimes heightens the flavor.

Star anise is the star shaped fruit that grows on a tree scientifically called Illicium verum. As the name suggests, the star shape contains anywhere from five to ten pointers, each one holding the seeds. The fruit is picked before it can ripen, and dried. The stars are available whole, or ground to a red-brown powder. Its taste is powerful and liquorice-like, more pungent and stronger than anise. SAFETY PROFILE: Star anise has been part of traditional medicines for centuries and is deemed safe to consume. However, as with anything, a word of caution is warranted when using this spice extensively and/or excessively. Ensure that you are using Chinese star anise and not Japanese variety. The Japanese type is inedible and poisonous when consumed. "In addition to its use in traditional Chinese recipes, star anise is a key ingredient in Vietnamese pho, Indian biryani, spiced chai recipes and garam masala."
