A spice commonly called star anise, star anise, star anise seed, Chinese star anise or badiam that closely resembles anise in flavor is obtained from the star-shaped pericarp of the fruit of Illicium verum which are harvested just before ripening. Star anise oil is a highly fragrant oil used in cooking, perfumery, soaps, toothpastes, mouthwashes, and skin creams. About 90% of the world's star anise crop is used for extraction of shikimic acid, a chemical intermediate used in the synthesis of oseltamivir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Star anise contains anethole, the same ingredient that gives the unrelated anise its flavor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Recently, star anise has come into use in the West as a less expensive substitute for anise in baking, as well as in liquor production, most distinctively in the production of the liqueur Galliano.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ It is used as a spice in preparation of biryani and masala chai all over the Indian subcontinent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Shikimic acid is produced by most autotrophic organisms, and whilst it can be obtained in commercial quantities elsewhere, star anise remains the usual industrial source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Guarantees\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ FREE standard shipping within the United States (3–6 business days)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ 100% money-back guarantee for lost or damaged items\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Secure checkout with encrypted payment processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Shipping via UPS, FedEx, and USPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Ships to lower 48 states only (no PO Boxes \/ APO \/ FPO)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReturns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ 30-day hassle-free returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Items must be unused and in original packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Full refund if item is not delivered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Guaranteed delivery within 6–7 business days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePayment Methods\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✅ Credit Cards, PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, Meta Pay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCustomer Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e✅ Questions?
