Star aniseed, or star anise, is instantly recognisable by its eight pointed star shape and its warm, sweet, liquorice like aroma. This is the East End Foods brand, and E.E. is the short form on their packaging. The 6×400 g format means six individual 400 g packs, giving 2.4 kilograms in total, which makes it a practical bulk option for kitchens that cook with whole spices often.
Serving and Cooking: Star aniseed is usually added whole so it can infuse a dish, then lifted out before serving. Fry a pod or two in oil at the start of a curry or biryani to build a fragrant base, or drop it into stocks, braises and rice for gentle warmth. A single pod carries a lot of flavour, so use sparingly. It can also be lightly toasted and ground into homemade spice blends.
Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Reseal or transfer to an airtight container once opened, as whole pods keep their aroma longer than ground spice.
