Star anise is a popular ingredient in many Middle Eastern and Asian cuisines, not limited to Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Turkish & Persian. Star anise has a fennel-like sweetness and is often used to enhance the flavor of broths, soups, and curries. It's also a key ingredient in Indian "Garam Masala" spice blends.

Anise seed is a potent source of health benefits. It is rich in nutrients and antioxidants, which can help protect your body against disease.

We at Love of India believe in supporting our farmers and bridging the gap between villages and urban cities. We are sourcing the spices from the land of 100% Authentic and Pure Spices Kerala (Idduki). Love of India's star anise pod is picked before it ripens and then dried in the sun, turning it a deep brown or rust color.
