Star Anise Whole

Whole star anise is a star-shaped spice with a potent aniseed flavour. It's a key ingredient in cooking, and adds depth to soups, stews, and braised dishes. We also love it in Mulled Wine!

Bold, fragrant and unmistakably aromatic, Star Anise is loved for its distinctive liquorice-like flavour with warm, sweet notes. Its beautiful star-shaped pods are the dried fruit of an evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia.

Use it whole to gently infuse flavour into curries, broths, braises and slow-cooked dishes, or add a pod to mulled wine, chai and spiced desserts. It pairs particularly well with cinnamon, cloves, ginger and fennel.
