Description
Vietnamese Star Anise, scientifically known as Illicium verum Hook. f., is originally a tall woody plant, reaching a height of 6 – 12m when mature, and is commonly found in mountainous regions in northern Vietnam and southern China. This tree is characterized by its leaves. Each year, a single tree yields approximately 80-100kg of fresh fruit, and it continues to do so for 40-50 years.
In Vietnam, star anise is grown using special farming methods to ensure environmental and economic sustainability. Factors such as variety selection, planting, cultivation techniques, care, and pre-harvest processing are all carried out according to proper procedures. Seedlings are raised for 18-24 months, ensuring normal growth, healthy, no pests and diseases. Star anise is typically planted in February, March, July, August, and September, on shaded days.
The plants usually yield ripe fruit for harvest in September or April, with each harvest lasting 3-4 months. Typically, a star anise plant needs to be at least 5 years old before its fruit is harvested, and only two harvests are conducted each year, making it a “rare” commodity. During harvesting, it’s essential to pick each fruit by hand or using a picking hook, avoiding any damage to the plant that could affect subsequent harvests.
Fresh star anise is put into the electric drying system. The finished star anise has a moisture content of less than or equal to 13.5%, maintaining its essential oil content and ensuring no impurities or carbon are mixed in.
