About this product
TKM Foods – Star Aniseed
The Star-Shaped Spice with Sweet, Licorice-Like Flavor
Star aniseed is a visually striking spice, recognized for its star-shaped pods with eight pointed arms, each holding a glossy brown seed. Native to Southeast Asia, star anise has a strong, sweet-spicy flavor that closely resembles licorice, with warm, aromatic undertones. It is a key ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes and is prized in Asian, Middle Eastern, and Western cuisines for its depth and fragrance.
Both the pods and seeds are used in cooking, and it is typically added whole to dishes that require slow simmering to extract its full flavor.

Usage Tips:
