and rust coloured, they measure up to 3cm (1-1/4) long. The fruit is picked before it can ripen, and dried.

History: Star Anise is so named from the stellate form of its fruit. It is often chewed in small quantities after each meal to promote digestion and sweeten the breath. The Japanese plant the tree
in their temples and on tombs; and use the pounded bark as incense. The homoeopaths prepare a tincture from the seeds. Cautions: Anise star from China is generally non-toxic and non-irritating
(unlike Illicium anisatum the Japanese variety that is long considered toxic).
