Product details of Star Anise Whole 50 grams (Organic)
Star Anise is the fruit of a tree in the Magnolia family which is native to southern China and Vietnam. Use this beautiful whole star anise when concerned about presentation.
Its aroma is much like fennel and anise and its taste is pungent and sweet with hints of licorice. Star anise has assertive warmth that creates a mild numbing effect in the mouth.
The aftertaste is fresh and agreeable. We offer star anise as the whole pod or broken star anise pods.
This dried fruit is pungent and sweet with licoricey notes and pairs well with cinnamon, coriander, fennel seeds, and ginger.
Add to baked goods, Asian stocks for chicken and fish, soups, and fruit dishes. Use whole star anise instead of broken when presentation is a factor.
Star anise pods bring a strong licorice note to both sweet and savory dishes and is most commonly used in Vietnamese and Chinese cuisines. It's is an essential ingredient in Chinese Five Spice as well as the Indian tea mix chai masala. Pods are added to broths like pho for flavor then removed before serving.
