Details
Bold, aromatic and instantly recognizable, Whole Organic Star Anise has a sweet, warming, licorice-like flavor. Although its flavor is similar to anise seed, star anise comes from a completely different plant and has a stronger, more intense character.
Star anise is commonly used in Chinese and Vietnamese cooking, where the whole pods slowly release their flavor into broths, soups, sauces and braised dishes. It is also an essential spice in Chinese five-spice blends and works beautifully in mulled cider, wine and tea.
Its distinctive star shape makes it especially useful when simmering with other whole spices. Simply add the pod while cooking and remove it before serving.
Ways to Use Star Anise
