Star anise has an aniseed taste. Kind of like liquorice but not that strong. Used in middle eastern and Asian stews and soups. It gives an added boost when used with other spices like cinnamon and cloves.

Ooh, thank you. I tried little choc coated aniseed balls (as well as choc coated coffee beans) while I was in Canberra (the place we went for lunch had a surprisingly large chocolate range). I don't mind the taste. Might give it a go in something soon

@CEOofmyhouse56 @Baku it also interacts interestingly with compounds in onions. A small amount, like one of the individual seed pods with the onions for a stew can add an interesting depth of flavour
