Star Anise (Phool) Whole (15g)

Origin: Vietnam

Also known as the Chinese Star, this pretty  little seed pod is from the Illicium Verum Plant native to Southwest China and also grown in Vietnam.

With flavours that are earthy and delicately spicy sweet, this pod is used in traditional Asian dishes and Indian spice mixes.  In particular, its a great spice for roasted duck or spiced nuts, sometimes you will even see it in a bowl of potpourri.
