Bold Flavor, Beautiful Form — Whole Star Anise That Delivers Spice & Elegance!
Whole star anise is a fragrant, star-shaped spice known for its sweet, licorice-like flavor and bold aroma—widely used in Asian cuisine, baking, spice blends, herbal teas, and slow-cooked dishes. Each pod contains seeds packed with essential oils that release warm, deep flavor, perfect for both savory and sweet culinary creations.
Ideal for use in pho broth, biryani, mulled wine, braises, pickling brines, chai blends, and desserts, star anise adds depth and aroma while also serving as a visually striking garnish. Its whole form makes it ideal for infusions, spice sachets, and bulk cooking where long simmering releases its full potential.
Also referred to as badiyan, anise star pods, or Chinese star spice, this ingredient is often sourced by chefs and manufacturers seeking whole star anise in bulk, wholesale aromatic spices, or premium whole spices for foodservice and retail. Whether you're crafting broth or building global spice blends, whole star anise brings elegance and unmistakable flavor to every recipe.
