Regal Whole Star Anise 7 oz. - 12Case

With its easily recognizable star shape and pungent flavor, Regal whole star anise plays a key role in the slow cooked dishes that characterize eastern Chinese cuisine. Like anise seeds, star anise gets its distinctive licorice taste from a chemical compound called anethol. However, the two are not related botanically, as star anise is a member of the Magnolia family.

Regal whole star anise is great for use in meat and egg dishes, and can also be simmered in black tea. It's one of the spices in five-spice powder, and is featured in several signature Vietnamese dishes, such as Pho Bo soup. It is also the secret ingredient in many Indian stews and curries.
