Plant Description
Star Anise has got his name because of the star-shaped fruit of the Star Anise tree. This fruit is reddish-brown in colour and has 6-8 unevenly sized boat-shaped carpel, which combined gives it a star-like shape. The oil from this fruit is most often confused with Aniseed, though both these species possess very similar aromas but have distinct properties and chemical constituents. The aroma of Star Anise essential oil is very similar to that of black liquorice.
History of Star Anise Oil:
The origin of Star Anise can be traced to Vietnam and countries in South East Asia. Even today this region remains the major cultivator of Star Anise. The countries which are major suppliers of Star Anise include China, Vietnam, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia and Jamaica. According to ancient history, the Chinese mainly used Star Anise as a mouth freshener to get rid of foul smells. Soon they also realized its medical properties and started using it for the treatment of colic and nausea. The first commercial use of Star Anise was in Europe around the 17th century when this product began to be widely used in baking. Major products in Europe which contained Star Anise were Jams, puddings and syrups.
