USDA FDC SR Legacy record 171316. USDA carries no record for star anise (Illicium verum). This is its record for anise seed (Pimpinella anisum), a botanically unrelated plant that shares the same dominant aromatic compound, anethole, and is the standard nutritional stand-in for star anise. The pods are typically strained out of a braise before serving rather than eaten, so the nutritional effect of this substitution is negligible in practice. Density estimated from the ground-spice class.
