Spicewalla | Star Anise
Ever wonder what makes your pho sing or biryani unforgettable? Star anise, that’s what. We’re obsessed with Spicewalla’s take on this ancient gem from Southeast China, where cooks first dried the fruit from an evergreen tree to unlock its magic. The woody pods look like little stars, with a texture akin to cinnamon sticks, but bite in and you’ll taste that sweet, licorice-kissed fragrance (it shares roots with anise seed, and soothes your stomach too).
It’s a natural for cookies and desserts, yet shines in savory marinades, braises, and spice blends. Toss it into teas for a cozy ritual or let it perfume your roasts. We chose Spicewalla because their spices are fresh, ethically sourced, and bursting with flavor that elevates every dish. Grab a jar and let these stars light up your kitchen!
