Star Anise

Illicium Verum

Our star anise is selected from dried fruit which is still smooth and fully dry, free from mold and whiteness and still has a sharp aroma. Star anise has a mild, licorice-like and slightly sweet taste.

Star anise is rich in antioxidants and vitamins A and C, which help fight free radicals that are responsible for early aging and diabetes. Despite its sweetness, star anise traditionally is used in savoury recipes, like soups, stews and braising broths, and work well with drinks, baked goods, and sauces
