Star anise (Illicium verum Hook) grows as dark brown pods with eight segments, each containing a pea-sized seed. This
spice hails from an evergreen tree plant that is native to southern China and northeast Vietnam, although it is
cultivated in countries like Laos, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines.
Star anise and cinnamon are two
non-timber forest species grown in Việt Nam for over 100 years.
Star anise is planted in Lạng Sơn, Cao Bằng and
Quảng Ninh.
Bigitexco has tied up with local farmers in Yên Bái and Lạng Sơn provinces to ensure raw material sources. We have
enough supply to meet the requirements set by demanding markets.
