About Star Anise
Star anise is the dried, star-shaped fruit of Illicium verum. It is dark-brown in colour with eight segments. It has a sweetish liquorice taste. The star-shaped fruits are picked just before ripening and dried before use. They contain the same essential oil as the botanically unrelated Spanish anise seed, which gives the two a nearly identical flavour - strong, sweet, and liquorice.

Benefits
The oil produced from star anise contains thymol, terpineol and anethole, which is used for treating cough and flu. Anise also helps improve digestion, alleviate cramps and reduce nausea. Consuming star anise tea after meals helps treat digestive ailments such as bloating, gas, indigestion and constipation.

Nutritive Value/Benefits
Star anise is rich in antioxidants and vitamin A and C, which help fight free radicals that are responsible for early ageing and diabetes. The oil produced from star anise contains thymol, terpineol and anethole, which is used for treating cough and flu.

Storage & Uses
Like all spices, star anise should be stored in an airtight container away from heat and light. Whole stars will stay fresh for about two years; ground star anise lasts about one year. To check the freshness of a whole star, break off a point and squeeze it until the seed pops.

Shelf-Life
3–4 years

Storage Tips
Star anise is used whole to flavor soups and tea, and ground in baked goods and other dishes. When substituting star anise for anise, use about half the amount of ground star anise for ground anise seed. Whole star anise will keep for one year or longer, stored airtight in a cool, dark place

Storage Temperature
Favourable travel temperature range: 5° / 25°C. Keepability approx. 12 months at the recommended storage conditions. At temperatures >25°C, Essential Oils may be lost and there is a risk of self-heating.

Shipment Info

A shipment description, or parcel information, is asked in those rare cases that a courier company is trying to locate your parcel because it became unreadable due to a fallen off label or an unreadable label. We will go through the process and tell you what parcel information you have to give. The shipment or order details, on the contrary, is a summary of all the information regarding a parcel that a shipper wants to send to a receiver. It contains information about the pick-up and delivery address and contact person. It is of great importance to us and the courier that we are fully aware of the content of the parcel (it’s weight, dimensions, specific content, …) because it helps us to asses which service would be the safest and cheapest for you. Having a thorough parcel content description will avoid problems during transport, for example when a courier has to pick up a parcel that is much heavier and bigger than mentioned.
