## Description

## Features

- 4 Ounces 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.
