Description:Native to China and Vietnam, star anise is today grown almost exclusively in southern China, Indo-China, and Japan. Star anise, Illicium verum, is sometimes called Chinese star anise. Star anise is the unusual fruit of a small oriental tree. It is, as the name suggests, star shaped, radiating between five and ten pointed boat-shaped sections, about eight on average. These hard sections are seed pods. Tough skinned and rust coloured, they measure up to 3cm (1-1/4”) long. The fruit is picked before it can ripen, and dried. The stars are available whole, or ground to a red-brown powder. Health Benefit:Like anise, star anise has carminative, stomachic, stimulant and diuretic properties. In the East it is used to combat colic and rheumatism. It is a common flavouring for medicinal teas, cough mixtures and pastilles.In traditional Chinese medicine, star anise is prescribed as an digestive aid, promoting health of female reproductive organs and for lactating mothers to increase breast-milk secretion. It is used to promote appetite, to treat abdominal pain, digestive disturbances including colic, complaints caused by cold weather such as lumbago, and to relieve flatulence.Suggested Use: The whole stars can be added directly to the cooking pot; pieces are variously referred to as segments, points and sections. Otherwise, grind the whole stars as required. Small amounts are used, as the spice is powerful. Stored whole in airtight containers, it keeps for well over a year.产品描述介绍：八角茴香，正名为八角，为乔木，高10-15米；树冠塔形，椭圆形或圆锥形；树皮深灰色；枝密集。常绿乔木，叶不整齐，互生，在顶端3-6片近轮生或松散簇生，革质，厚革质，倒卵状椭圆形，倒披针形或椭圆形，长5-15厘米，宽2-5厘米，先端骤尖或短渐尖，基部渐狭或楔形；在阳光下可见密布透明油点；中脉在叶上面稍凹下，在下面隆起；叶柄长8-20毫米。 功效特点： 温阳，散寒，理气。治中寒呕逆，寒疝腹痛，肾虚腰痛，干、湿脚气。 饮用方式： 内服：煎汤，1～2钱；或入丸、散。中国菜许多佳肴都可以放入八角提味。
