∙ 14y agoYes, its a common spice used in Asian cooking. It's one of the spices used in 5 spice powder, in China we use it in pork and beef dishes.
But don't use Japanese Star Anise, it's not sold for food but for incense, its a different plant that is toxic. But unless you're in Japan I doubt you need to worry about that.
