Star anise is the seed pod from the fruit of the Illicium verum plant, an evergreen shrub native to northwest Vietnam. The star anise pod, which is shaped like a star (hence its name), has an average of eight points, each containing a single pea-sized seed. Both the seeds and the pod are used in cooking and contain the sweet, potent anise flavor. Star anise is sold whole and ground.
