Frontier Co-op Select Grade Whole Star Anise, Certified Organic, 16 oz

Frontier Co-op® Organic Whole Star Anise (Illicium verum) offers a striking star-shaped spice with a bold, sweet-licorice flavor that brings depth and aroma to both sweet and savory dishes. Sourced from certified organic farms and graded for superior quality, these whole pods are popular in Asian, Middle Eastern, and European cuisine. Star anise is a key ingredient in Chinese five spice, Vietnamese pho, and mulled wine, and it can also be used to infuse syrups, stews, marinades, and teas with its distinctive taste. The whole form allows for longer shelf life and more versatile use. Pods can be used whole for slow infusions or ground fresh for maximum potency in spice blends and baked goods. The one-pound bulk bag is ideal for restaurants, spice makers, tea blenders, and home cooks looking for culinary authenticity and consistent flavor in every pod.

We work hand in hand with growers around the world to source our botanicals ethically and responsibly, investing in the communities we serve and the land that sustains us.
