Vietnam star anise,Vietnam OEM price supplier

Star anise is the seed pod from an evergreen tree, Illicium verum, that grows in the North Vietnam and South China. It’s unrelated to regular anise, though they share a similar flavor. Star anise is one of the five spices in Chinese five-spice blends, along with cloves, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper and ground fennel seeds. It’s one of the signature flavors in the Vietnamese noodle soup pho. Beyond the kitchen, it’s also a vital component of the influenza-fighting drug Tamiflu—although scientists have figured out a way to manufacture its active ingredient, shikimic acid, in recent years.
