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 | | ASIN | B08HZC4NQ7 | | Allergen Information | Allergen-Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #104,520 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #30 in Chinese Star Anise | | Brand Name | Slofoodgroup | | Coin Variety 1 | Anise | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,167) | | Flavor | Star Anise | | Item Form | pod | | Item Package Weight | 0.04 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 1 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Slofoodgroup | | Manufacturer | Slofoodgroup | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 5.71 x 3.9 x 1.46 inches; 1 ounces | | Produce Sold As Format | Loose | | Size | 1 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Kosher, natural, sugar-free | | UPC | 810023052197 | | UPC | 810023052197 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Ounce | | Units | 1.0 Ounce | ## 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..

Fill a pot with water, throw in a whole sliced orange, a whole sliced apple, 2-3 cinnamon sticks, a couple of whole cloves and a few anise stars. Bring to a boil. As the water level comes to a low, keep filling the pot. ## 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.be/products/244585755-star-anise](https://www.desertcart.be/products/244585755-star-anise) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
