Star Anise, Ground

Ground star anise has a strong liquorice flavour with warm, sweet notes. The powder is made by grinding whole star anise, known for its characteristic star shape as the name suggests. Star anise is one of the vital spices within Chinese cooking for pork and chicken dishes.

The powder is one of the key ingredients in the famous Chinese Five Spice, which is used for meat rubs and curry bases. Try adding ground star anise when making duck à l’orange or a sweet apple tart.
