Star anise comes by its name honestly, with its star shape and a licorice taste similar to regular anise, only stronger. Star anise is the seed pod of an evergreen tree (Illicium Verum) grown in southwestern China and Japan. It is about one inch high with eight segments and a dark brown rust color. Like regular anise, star anise gets its distinctive licorice taste from a chemical compound called anethol. However the two are not related botanically - star anise is a member of the Magnolia family. Star anise plays a key role in the slow cooked dishes that characterize Eastern Chinese cuisine. Its licorice flavor enhances red cooked dishes, as well as eggs simmered in black tea. Star anise is one of the spices in five-spice powder. "Nguan Soon" Company was established by Artchit Limprana, its founder, in 1954. The original enterprise consisted of a small retail store in China Town(Yaowaraj) in central Bangkok. The business concentrated on producing and marketing 100% ground peppers and spices under the brand name "Hand Brand No.1" The company's products were rapidly accepted by the national market and today "Hand Brand No.1" is a household name in Thailand in terms of 100% pure spices and herbs.
