Description

Star Anise / Badiyan

Infuse your vegetarian cuisine with the exquisite aroma of 365 Spicery's premium Star Anise, also known as Badiyan. This distinctive star-shaped spice delivers a potent, liquorice-like sweetness and warmth, a foundational flavor in many aromatic Indian and Asian dishes.

What is it?

Star Anise is the dried, star-shaped fruit of the evergreen tree Illicium verum. Visually striking, each point of the star typically contains a single seed. It is widely recognized for its strong, sweet, and pungent flavor, reminiscent of liquorice or fennel, attributed to its anethole content.

365 Spicery offers whole Star Anise, carefully selected for its intact pods and potent fragrance. It is a key ingredient in many garam masalas, biryanis, and slow-cooked vegetarian stews, imparting a deeply aromatic and comforting essence.
