Unique stories
The Illicium verum is an evergreen tree native to China and Vietnam, widely grown in East Asia and Southeast Asia. Its fruits have a distinctive 8-pointed, star-shaped appearance with a single seed inside each follicle. They are dried after harvest, resulting in a brown, fragrant and wood-like spice.
