Star anise is being increasingly used in cooking because it has great potential! The spice gives a hint of liquorice, a taste that is very good in a lot of dishes, both sweet and savoury.
Star anise is used alongside peppers, cinnamon, cloves and ginger in the traditional Chinese ‘five spice’ mix that is perfect for barbecues. Star anise can be used in a variety of other dishes, and is unmatched in fruit syrups, poultry dishes, rice preparations and much more.
