Definition:
Star aniseed comes by its name honestly, with its star shape anda licorice taste similar to regular anise, only stronger. Staraniseed is the seed pod of an evergreen tree (IlliciumVerum) grown in southwestern China and Japan. It is about oneinch high with eight segments and a dark brown rust color. Likeregular anise, star aniseed gets its distinctive licorice tastefrom a chemical compound called anethol. However the two are notrelated botanically - star aniseed is a member of the Magnoliafamily.
Using Star Aniseed in Cooking
Star aniseed plays a key role in the slow cooked dishes thatcharacterize Eastern Chinese cuisine. Its licorice flavor enhancesred cooked dishes, as well as eggs simmered in black tea. Staraniseed is one of the spices in five-spice powder.
Outside of China, star aniseed is featured in several ofVietnam''s signature dishes, such as Pho Bo soup. It is also thesecret ingredient in many Indian stews and curries. Star aniseedcan replace regular anise in western recipes.
Medicinal uses
Star anise has been used in a tea as a traditional remedy forrheumatism, and the seeds are sometimes chewed after meals to aiddigestion.As a warm and moving herb, star anise is used to assistin relieving cold-stagnation in the middle jiao, according toTraditional Chinese medicine.
Star anise is the major source of the chemical compound shikimicacid, a primary precursor in the pharmaceutical synthesis ofanti-influenza drug oseltamivir (Tamiflu).Shikimic acid is producedby most autotrophic organisms and whilst it can be obtained incommercial quantities from elsewhere, star anise remains the usualindustrial source. In 2005, there was a temporary shortage of staranise due to its use in the production of Tamiflu. Late in thatyear, a way was found of making shikimic acid synthetically.Rochenow derives some of the raw material it needs from the fermentationof E. coli bacteria. The 2009 swine flu outbreak led toanother series of shortages as stocks of Tamiflu were built uparound the world, sending prices soaring.
Star anise is grown in four provinces in China and harvestedbetween March and May. It is also found in the south of New SouthWales. The shikimic acid is extracted from the seeds in a ten-stagemanufacturing process which takes a year. Reports say90% of theharvest is already used by the Swiss pharmaceutical manufacturerRoche in making Tamiflu, but other reportssay there is an abundanceof the spice in the main regions - Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi andYunnan.
Japanese star anise (Illicium anisatum), a similartree, is not edible because it is highly toxic (due to containingsikimitoxin); instead, it has been burned as incense in Japan.Cases of illness, including "serious neurological effects, such asseizures", reported after using star anise tea may be a result ofusing this species. Japanese star anise contains anisatin, whichcauses severe inflammation of the kidneys, urinary tract anddigestive organs.The toxicity of Illicium anisatum, alsoknown as Shikimi, is caused by its content in potent neurotoxins(anisatin, neoanisatin, and pseudoanisatin), due to their activityas non-competitive antagonists of GABA receptors.
Purchasing, Storage, and Preparation
Star aniseed is available in packages in Asian supermarkets.When purchasing star anise, look for whole pieces that aren’tbroken. At home, store star aniseed in a sealed container ina cool dark place. Properly stored, star aniseed will last forseveral months. Discard once the flavor fades.
In slow cooked or simmered dishes, star aniseed is usually addedwhole (not broken into pieces) and discarded before serving.Occasionally, you may find stir-fry recipes calling for ground staraniseed.
