â 13y agoStar Anise is similar in flavor to Anise but not the same. Star Anise has a much stronger liquorice flavor. In a recipe, you can substitute Anise for Star Anise by using the same amount and a pinch of fennel to increase the liquorice flavor, but not the other way around.

It is native to China and is never consumed unless it is dried and made into a spice.
