East End Star Aniseeds – 20x100g

Description

E.E. Star Aniseeds: a bold, liquorice sweet spice for slow cooking

E.E. Star Aniseeds are whole, star shaped pods from East End Foods, a familiar name on British South Asian shelves. The 20x100g case gives you twenty 100g packs, so a kitchen can reach for one and keep the others sealed. Each pod carries a deep, sweet liquorice aroma that lifts stocks, braises and spice blends.

Key Features

• Whole star anise pods with a warm aniseed and liquorice character
• Case of twenty 100g packs for easy stock rotation and portion control
• A backbone spice in garam masala, biryani, pho and slow braises
• Whole form keeps its aroma longer than pre ground spice
• Works in both savoury cooking and sweet poaching liquids

Serving and uses: Drop a whole pod or two into simmering stocks, curries, biryani and braised meat for a gentle sweet warmth, then remove before serving. Toast lightly and grind into homemade masalas, or add to poached pears, mulled drinks and syrups. A little goes a long way, so use sparingly.

Storage

Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct light. Store in an airtight container once opened to hold the aroma.
