Star Anise
Star Anise is a fragrant spice native to China and Southeast Asia, known for its star-shaped pods and strong licorice‑like flavor used in simmered dishes, braises and baking. It is unusually high in fiber at 34.5g per 100g, though it is normally used in very small amounts so contributes little to overall daily intake. Star Anise also contains aromatic compounds (like anethole) that have traditional uses for aiding digestion and providing antioxidant and antimicrobial effects in foods.
