Star Anise (Whole Pods)

These whole star anise pods are carefully dried to preserve their rich aroma and signature star shape. Known for their strong licorice-like flavor with warm, sweet undertones, star anise is a cornerstone spice in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine. Commonly used in slow-cooked dishes such as braised pork, beef stew, and herbal soups, it imparts depth and complexity to both savory and sweet recipes. Just one or two pods are enough to enrich a whole pot, making this spice both economical and essential.
