Anise Star Essential Pure Natural Oil In Aluminum Bottle 16 Fl Oz

This anise star essential pure natural oil is small to the medium evergreen tree of the magnolia family, reaching up to 8m (26ft). The leaves are lanceolate and the axillary flowers are yellow. The tree is propagated by seed and is mainly cultivated in China and Japan for export and home markets. The fruits are harvested before they ripen, then sun-dried. Its taste and aroma are very similar to the more common anise (Pimpinella anisum) that has been used since Roman times.

Features:

• This beautiful five-pointed spice is native to China and Southeast Asia. It is one of the most widely used in Chinese cooking and is the primary flavoring in Chinese five spices.
• It is very different from traditional anise in appearance, although the smell and taste are very similar; warm and licorice-like. Star anise is also used in roasted meats; it heightens the flavor of stewed fruits, pies, and other desserts.

Package includes:

• 1 x Essential Oil
