Product Description
Star anise is a spice that comes from the fruit of the Illicium verum tree. It has a distinctive star-shaped appearance with dark brown pods containing small, shiny seeds. Star anise has a strong and sweet licorice-like flavour, similar to regular anise seeds but with a slightly more intense taste. It is commonly used in both sweet and savoury dishes, particularly in Asian cuisines such as Chinese and Vietnamese. Star anise is an essential ingredient in many spice blends, soups, stews, and braised dishes. It is also used to infuse flavour into beverages like mulled wine, teas, and cocktails.
