Star anise contains anethole, the same ingredient that gives the unrelated anise its flavor. 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 liquor Galliano. It is also used in the production of sambuca, pastis, and many types of absinthe. Star anise enhances the flavour of meat. It is used as a spice in preparation of biryani all over the Indian subcontinent. It is widely used in Chinese cuisine, where it is a major component of garam masala, and in Malay and Indonesian cuisine. It is widely grown for commercial use in China and most other countries in Asia. Star anise is an ingredient of the traditional five-spice powder of Chinese cooking.
