Our Star Anise Powder is a convenient way to add the strong, sweet and licorice-like flavor of whole star anise to any recipe without the added step of grinding. The spice is used widely in baking due to its warm, sweet flavor, and also plays a key role in eastern Chinese meat dishes. In India, the spice is a main ingredient in masala chai and garam masala. It is also an integral seasoning in Pho, a Vietnamese noodle soup.
