## Description

Product description Pear Tarte Tatin Recipe Uses in Cooking The spice has commonly been used for both medicinal and culinary purposes. It is often present in braises, soups, stews, pickling, candying, and much more. Star Anise Flavor Whole star anise pods are often described as having a flavor and aroma profile of black licorice however, they are also sweet and spicy and should be used in complimentary moderation so as not to overpower a dish or recipe. Sustainably Sourced Our Star Anise comes straight from the farm in Vietnam and packed in the USA. Slofoodgroup brand of spices and edible golds are a leader in fine ingredients that are ethically sourced from around the world. Whole Star Anise from Vietnam Used in Asia for centuries, star anise is most famous as an ingredient in the Chinese five-spice mix. Aptly referred to as Star Anise due to its appearance and flavor, this prized spice is the seed pod from the fruit of Illicium Verum, a type of evergreen shrub. The seed pods grow in the shape of an eight-point star and host similar flavor properties of anise. Star anise is not the same as anise, but because the flavor is so similar (due to the shared flavoring compound, anethole), the two are often used interchangeably in dishes. The spice has commonly been used for both medicinal and culinary purposes. It is often present in braises, soups, stews, pickling, candying, and much more. In European kitchens and recipes, star anise is used for a plethora of baking and flavor applications: duck, tea, honey and hams. These wonderful little ninja stars of the spice world, are an amazing example of a tiny product that packs a punch and a kick. Star anise pods are often described as having a flavor and aroma profile of black licorice but are also sweet and spicy and should be used in complimentary moderation so as not to overpower a dish or recipe.

## Features

- 1 Pound Whole Star Anise Pods
- Each one of our Vietnamese star anise pods is handpicked and carefully sorted. These pods are solely picked during the second harvest of the seasonÑthe autumn harvestÑbecause they have an inherently higher oil content.
- Star anise comes ready to use in whole star anise pod. You simply drop the little pods in your liquid, braising stock, cream, or whatever culinary medium you desire and let the flavor infuse into the dish.
- Whole star anise pods grind up great in a grinder, are more flavorful when ground fresh, and have a much longer shelf life than pre-ground mixes.
