TOP OP Badian, better known in English as star anise, arrives as whole star shaped pods in a 50g pack. The spice has a warm, sweet aroma with notes reminiscent of liquorice, and it is prized in both savoury and sweet dishes. Being whole, the pods release their flavour slowly, which makes them ideal for gentle, unhurried cooking.
Drop a pod or two into biryani and pilau rice, simmer in stocks, curries and braises, or infuse into mulled wine, chai and poached fruit. Remove the whole pods before serving. A little delivers plenty of flavour.
Keep in a cool, dry place in a sealed container away from direct sunlight to preserve the aroma. Refer to the packaging for the best before date.
