Whole star anise with a bold, licorice-like flavor.

These pointed star-shaped pods bring a warm, slightly bitter taste to soups, broths, or chai tea. Grind fresh for baking or add whole to slow-cooked dishes for its sweet-spiced aroma. Pairs beautifully with cinnamon, cloves, and fennel for deeper flavor in your spice blends or stews.
