Star Anise

Star anise contains anethole, the same distinctive compound that gives the unrelated anise its characteristic flavor. This aromatic spice has gained popularity in Western cuisine as a flavorful and economical substitute for anise in baking and liquor production, notably used in creating Galliano, sambuca, pastis, and various types of absinthe.

Beyond its Western applications, star anise enhances the flavor of meat and holds an essential place in Indian subcontinent cuisine, where it's used in preparing biryani and masala chai. It serves as a major component of garam masala and features prominently in Malay and Indonesian cuisines.
