Organic ground star anise is a potent spice known for its sweet, licorice-like flavor with hints of cinnamon and clove. This spice is perfect for adding depth and warmth to both sweet and savory dishes. It’s commonly used in Asian cuisine, particularly in braised meats, pho, and five-spice powder blends, where its aromatic profile enhances the overall flavor. Ground star anise is also great in baked goods like cookies, cakes, and pies, as well as in spiced drinks like mulled wine or chai. Because of its strong flavor, a little goes a long way, so use it carefully to create a balanced and fragrant dish.

FAQ
How old are these spices?
We purchase what we need every year right after the spices are harvested. These spices are as fresh as you can get. They are not sitting in a warehouse for multiple years. The oldest spices we carry will be one year old compared to the commodity market which warehouses spices for 10+ years before selling them to you.
