Rich in China and Vietnam, it is the fruit of a small oriental tree species of the Magnoliaceae. It has a spicy taste and resembles licorice. It is a traditional condiment in Eastern cuisine and is also the main spice for French green ouzo and ouzo liqueurs. It can also be used to increase the aroma of candy, ouzo and tobacco.
