Whole Star Anise from Vietnam Used in Asia for centuries, star anise is most famous as an ingredient in the Chinese five-spice mix. Aptly referred to as Star Anise due to its appearance and flavor, this prized spice is the seed pod from the fruit of Illicium Verum, a type of evergreen shrub. The seed pods grow in the shape of an eight-point star and host similar flavor properties of anise. Star anise is not the same as anise, but because the flavor is so similar (due to the shared flavoring compound, anethole), the two are often used interchangeably in dishes. The spice has commonly been used for both medicinal and culinary purposes. It is often present in braises, soups, stews, pickling, candying, and much more. In European kitchens and recipes, star anise is used for a plethora of baking and flavor applications: duck, tea, honey and hams.

Review: Heavenly aroma! - I bought this anise to add to a Christmas centerpiece. It added that holiday fragrance I was looking to create! Good quality, arrived on time, would highly recommend and I would purchase again. 👍🏻 Review: Años estrella - Gracias me sirve mucho para mis limpias ## Features - 1 Ounce 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08HZC4NQ7 | | Allergen Information | Allergen-Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #111,069 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #33 in Chinese Star Anise | | Brand | Slofoodgroup | | Brand Name | Slofoodgroup | | Coin Variety 1 | Anise | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,175 Reviews | | Flavor | Star Anise | | Item Form | pod | | Item Package Weight | 0.04 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 1 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Slofoodgroup | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Produce Sold As Format | Loose | | Size | 1 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Kosher, natural, sugar-free | | UPC | 810023052197 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Ounce | | Variety | Anise | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Slofoodgroup - **Item Form:** pod - **Specialty:** Kosher, natural, sugar-free - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Ounce - **Variety:** Anise ## Images ![Star Anise - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712Jj1e22PL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are they irradiated ?** A: No these star anise and any of our other vanilla beans or spices are not irradiated. **Q: How many pieces are in this package?** A: Hard to say since most pieces were broken apart..

It added that holiday fragrance I was looking to create! Good quality, arrived on time, would highly recommend and I would purchase again. 👍🏻 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Años estrella *by J***Z on June 3, 2026* Gracias me sirve mucho para mis limpias ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fresh, visually pretty, good quality. *by S***O on November 27, 2023* These star anise are good quality. If you have a recipe that calls for these and you don’t like licorice these aren’t for you. A good quality package of these will give a licorice taste/smell and these do. I’m not a fan of licorice but bought these for a medicinal home remedy and these are perfect for that. ## Frequently Bought Together - Slofoodgroup Whole Star Anise - For Cooking, Pickling and Spice Mixes - 1 Ounce - Amazon Brand - Happy Belly Cinnamon Sticks, Whole, 1.5 ounce (Pack of 1) - Slofoodgroup Whole Cloves hand picked cloves , 1 oz whole cloves --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/244585755-star-anise](https://www.desertcart.id/products/244585755-star-anise) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-09-20*
