The Spice Way Star Anise - whole star anise (3 oz) great for baking and tea

I’ve been using the Spice Way Whole Star Anise (3 oz) for baking, slow-simmered teas, and soups—and it’s an aromatic essential in my kitchen. The pods are glossy and plump, and the scent that hits you when you open the resealable bag is delightfully fresh. Each star has a rich, licorice-like flavor with warm cinnamon and clove undertones that deepen dishes beautifully. It has high quality, great health benefits, perfect size, and color.What I love most is how versatile it is. I’ve added one pod to my chai blend, used it in homemade pho, and ground it carefully for holiday cookies. Unlike the powdered version, the whole star gives a slow infusion of flavor, and it’s easy to fish out pods before serving. The resealable packaging keeps everything fresh, and I’ve had no issues with fading taste even weeks after opening.

Espectacular tejido … me súper encanta de una calidad excepcional… lo ameeeee

Fresh & nicely packaged.

I have used star anise for years as an after dinner tea or to improve digestion - this brand has been consistently good.

Fresh, great smell, perfect amount

I absolutely love this product! That's why I keep coming back for more. It makes a delicious tea and helps me and my family to keep healthy and to recover quickly from coughs and flu. I like to use it on my face as well, as it makes it smooth and refreshed. The aroma is wonderful, and the quality is awesomd. Highly recommended!

Very good benefits!

I received the boxed foil-package Star of Anise through Amazon Prime delivery. I planned to use these as additions to my holiday simmer pot gifts, so I was hoping they would arrive whole. I'm pleased to say that they arrived in excellent condition with mostly whole stars. I decided to test one today in a simmer pot of my own. Very aromatic!! Since I often use simmer pots, I am familiar with the smell my usual arrangement makes. Star of Anise is a new addition to my regular recipe. It only took one star to make a significant (pleasant) difference. I am very pleased with this product and will shop this brand in the future, hopefully with the same wonderful results.
