About Star Anise
Anise has been used for centuries best known for its flavouring in cooking, is a wonderful herb to both prevent and treat gas cramping in the digestive tract. Because of its soothing properties, Anise is useful for nausea, belching, colic and bloating. It is also of value in treating colds, coughs, flu, and even bronchitis, whooping cough and asthma. Anise helps to increase the heat of the body enabling the immune system to fight off infections. Culinary Uses: The whole star can be added directly to the cooking pot, alternatively grind whole or segment. Small amounts need only to be used as this is a powerful spice.
Star Anise is used to sweeten meat and confectionery, where sweeteners are required. In Chinese cooking, where the ingredients are simmered for a long period in dark soy sauce, Star Anise is nearly always added to beef and chicken dishes. Stocks and soups often contain this spice. Chew the whole fruit regular as an after meal digestant and breath sweetener. In the West Star Anise is added to fruit jams and compotes. The Anise leaves are used to flavour many recipes and also for Aniseed tea which helps for those suffering from catarrh.
