They are incredibly flavorful. I made baked goods and I am still alive nor did anyone get sick. **Q: How many are in the bag** A: The bag is 4 ounces and has about 60 or so in the bag **Q: What is the Country of origin** A: China. If you look carefully at the packaging, "product of China" is printed across the bottom of the label. The distributor is a U.S. company with the word 'natural' in its title and I think it is totally likely that this product has been in the U.S. for a long time. If it shipped in a container ship, it has not shipped recently. The distributor is NaturalStyle USA **Q: Where is this product produced?** A: Vietnam ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very rich in smell *by J***G on November 21, 2024* These are legit star anise.
