ANISE STAR

Chehab 6 oz Star Anise is a packaged product containing whole star anise pods, which are the dried fruit of the Illicium verum plant. Star anise has a distinct, sweet, and licorice-like flavor, similar to anise seed but with a more intense, aromatic profile. The spice is shaped like a star with 6-8 pointed pods, each containing small seeds.

In a 6 oz package, Chehab Star Anise is perfect for adding a rich, warm, and slightly sweet flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. Star anise is a key ingredient in many Asian cuisines, particularly in Chinese five-spice powder, and is commonly used in stews, braises, soups, and sauces. It also plays an important role in beverages, such as mulled wine, teas, and certain liqueurs. The whole pods can be added to dishes during cooking and removed before serving, or crushed to release more flavor.
