Organic Star Anise Powder

$65.00
Size

Description

Our Organic Star Anise is a beautiful, star-shaped spice with a bold and distinctive character. It reflects a long tradition of use in both sweet and savoury cooking across many cultures.

Warm, gently sweet, and lightly spiced, its flavour carries notes of licorice, fennel, and clove. Each whole pod is rich in natural oils that release a deep, aromatic flavour when gently crushed or simmered.

A staple in dishes like Vietnamese pho and Chinese five spice, our organic star anise is well-suited to broths, slow-cooked dishes, and marinades, while also bringing a subtle warmth to baking and desserts. A little goes a long way, adding depth and complexity without overpowering.

Carefully hand packed on Vancouver Island, BC, each batch reflects our commitment to quality and thoughtfully sourced ingredients, preserving the delicate pieces of star anise.

About Our North India Suppliers

Our direct North Indian suppliers work at the farm level with thousands of small scale farmers who grow organic spices and use sustainable farming practices. Our cumin, coriander, fennel, onion, and garlic come from these small scale farms. This grassroots organic movement is spreading like wildfire in Northern India, resulting in not only better care for the environment, but better quality of life for the farmers too. These suppliers have state-of-the-art processing facilities, which are BRC-certified, the top food safety standard in the world. Their spices are gluten free and Kosher certified.
