Morton & Bassett® Star Anise

Star anise imparts a licorice-like flavor with a note of sweetness. Add one or two whole star anise to simmered meats or poultry for that classic Chinese flavor. Enhances mulled cider and citrus punches with a subtle licorice taste. Stews and cooked beans will have a rich, sweet mellowness with the addition of one or two stars. Star anise is the seedpod of a tree in the magnolia family. Although the stars contain seeds, it is the pod that holds most of the flavor. Morton and Bassett® spices' jars contain only carefully selected, whole pods, not the bits and pieces you may be used to. All natural, salt free, no MSG, no preservatives, non-irradiated.
