Description

We sell star anise in three forms: hand-selected whole stars, broken pieces and ground. The whole stars are the most expensive because of the labour involved in hand-sorting and choosing only perfect or near-perfect stars. This star anise is ideal for use as a garnish. Our broken pieces are meant for grinding and using in your cooking. We will always try to include a few whole stars here as well so you don’t feel left out. Ground star anise is available for those who prefer not to have to grind it themselves, though ground star anise loses its flavour quickly. As always, we recommend buying whole and grinding fresh.
