Star anise is an important ingredient in the Five Spice Blend, a Chinese spice blend used as a spice all over the world. Star anise can also be used as an ingredient in poultry marinades (e.g. Peking duck) and as a seasoning for pho soups or meat dishes.
Star anise can be ground or added whole and is also very suitable as an ingredient in herbal teas. It has a soothing effect on digestion.
