Great product, great buy! A+++++Oct 10, 2010
By L. BLOUIN
It is very hard to find whole star anise in grocery stores, so I was thrilled to find this here on Amazon. This was purchased for a parrot who loves, loves, loves whole star anise! This is a wonderful treat for the bird that will last a long time. A+++++

Lots of spice for the price!Jun 07, 2010
By Peter Hopkins
In our small town, it can be difficult to find some of the more exotic food items my mom needs for her cooking and baking. She asked me to find Star Anise on the internet, and I settled on this. You get a lot for the money, and the quality is good.

Asian flavorJul 01, 2010
By R. L. Young Jr.
"Rob"
The star anise is another Asian-inspired spice. Regular anise is sometimes substituted, but lacks the nuances of the real thing. It holds its flavor and scent in the jar and will last along time. It has been used whole and powdered in soups, stews and marinades. The powder is very powerful, so add cautiously. A very heavy mortar and pestle is recommended for the crushing job. I use granite and cast iron for example. That little herb masher for bruising basil will not be effective.
