I heard that only star anise can be eaten. Can this one with nine horns and ten horns be eaten?
I can't. Illicium verum with nine horns can be eaten. Illicium verum is famous for its eight horns, but it also has seven horns and nine horns, and even has 10 horns. Generally speaking, 7 horns or 9 horns are normal. If it exceeds 10, this kind of Illicium verum may be a fake Illicium verum. Eating too much Illicium verum is highly toxic and has a great impact on health. Illicium verum is generally 10 to 14 horns long.

Anita is a common kitchen seasoning, which has the functions of removing fishy smell, enhancing fragrance and enhancing flavor. It is always indispensable in most families' daily cooking.

The branches, leaves, roots and fruits of the wild grass are all toxic, especially the shell is extremely toxic.

The fruit of Mangcao is very similar to that of Illicium verum. The poisoning symptoms appear about 30 minutes after eating. Its toxic effect is to directly stimulate the mucosa of digestive tract, which is absorbed into diencephalon and medulla oblongata through the digestive tract, making the respiratory center and vascular motor center dysfunctional, with mild nausea and vomiting, severe irritability, dilated pupils, foaming at the mouth, and finally the blood pressure drops and breathing stops and dies.

In fact, the toxicity of wild grass has been recorded in ancient books. In Shan Hai Jing, it is said that "the mountain is green and realgar, and there are trees under it. Its shape is like a pond and red leaves, so it is called wild grass, which can poison fish." "Compendium of Materia Medica" said: "This thing is poisonous, and it makes people choose to eat it, so it is different. Mountain people poison rats with poison, which is called a rat. "
