Morton & Bassett Star Anise is a shelf stable spice. This product can be stored in ambient conditions and comes in a 0.6 ounce glass bottle. Star Anise imparts a licorice-like flavor with a note of sweetness. Add one or two whole Star Anise to simmered meats or poultry for that classic Chinese flavor. Star Anise enhances mulled cider and citrus punches with a subtle licorice taste. Morton and Bassett Spices' jars contain only carefully selected, whole pods.
