Kah's Journey Star Anise Whole 16 oz for Cooking, Baking, or Brewing Tea, Chinese Star Anise Bulk Bag

These are great quality anise seeds. They come mostly whole, they smell strong and fresh as they should. And the value for the money is definitely there. Great Purchase!

My parrot likes it and I grind it and put it on ice cream and use it when cooking. Adds a nice flavor to baked chicken and steak.

Kah’s Journey Star Anise is a superb addition to any kitchen, especially if you enjoy experimenting with deep, complex flavors. Whether used whole or ground, this high-quality star anise brings a rich licorice aroma to both sweet and savory dishes. The hand-picked, pure, and preservative-free pods are perfect for enhancing meals while keeping your ingredients clean and natural.One of the best ways I’ve incorporated this star anise is in my marination process for roast pork and BBQ ribs. A few whole pods in the marinade not only add a sophisticated fragrance but also elevate the flavor with a sweet, warm, and slightly spicy undertone. The results have been nothing short of impressive—each bite of pork bursts with flavor, making it a family favorite. It also works wonderfully in slow-cooked recipes or stews, allowing the star anise to infuse its unique essence over time.For tea lovers, this star anise shines when brewed as part of an aromatic tea blend. Simply add a pod or two into your teapot for a warming and soothing tea experience that’s both refreshing and flavorful. It's equally perfect for baking—adding just one star to spiced cookies or cakes transforms the aroma and taste profile into something much more dynamic and inviting.For anyone who loves natural ingredients that pack a punch, this star anise is a fantastic choice. Its versatility extends far beyond just one or two uses, and its bold flavor makes a strong impression in a variety of dishes and beverages.

Good price. Using it in a spice mixture to deter mice.

Exactly as advertised.

This does NOT smell like anise. It is BAD and I suspect something is wrong..also, NO RETURNS. DONT buy this if you like real anise flavor. There is something very wrong with these.

Good quality and authentic product. I put it into the beef stew and it tastes really good. Will purchase it again.

Grandmother says it tastes good and was great quality
