Botanical Name: Illicium Verum
Country of Origin: Vietnam
Description: Anise Star Powder is made from the dried star-shaped fruits of Illicium verum, an evergreen tree commonly grown in regions of Southeast Asia. The dried fruits develop a naturally warm brown colour and a firm, woody texture before being ground into a fine, aromatic powder.
The production process begins with harvesting mature star-shaped fruits, which are cleaned and fully dried to reduce moisture and develop their characteristic aroma and colour. Once dried, the fruits are inspected, milled into a fine powder, and sieved to achieve a consistent texture suitable for culinary and formulation use.
Anise Star Powder is used in a range of culinary applications where its distinctive flavour and natural colour are desired. It can be added to spice blends, bakery recipes, marinades, broths, sauces, and beverage preparations. The powder also works well in crafting projects, potpourri mixtures, and natural fragrance blends where a finely milled botanical ingredient is required.
Its smooth, even texture allows it to disperse easily in both dry and liquid mixtures, making it suitable for creative, culinary, and formulation tasks that rely on the inherent qualities of star anise.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
