Bring "star" power to your kitchen pantry with Regal whole star anise, ready to add flavor and depth to a variety of dishes!
Star anise delivers a strong aroma and licorice-like, warming flavor to foods and beverages. Use this spice to deepen the flavor of tomato-based sauces, jams, as well as meat and poultry dishes, especially pork and duck, and even mulled wine. Like anise seeds, star anise gets its distinctive licorice taste from a chemical compound called anethol. The two are not related botanically, though, as star anise is a member of the magnolia family. Star anise ranges from 6-10 points on a star, with each point containing a single seed.

"These star anise pods are large and mostly intact without lots of broken pieces. They are fresh and packed with intense flavor. We use them for making Chinese five-spice and for making our own chili oil, and they add a nice licorice flavor to our dishes."
