Organic star anise, or "Chinese Badian," is a powerful and fragrant spice, ideal for enhancing your sweet and savory recipes with its intense aniseed aroma. Ethically sourced from a small organic producer in Vietnam, the stars are harvested, sun-dried, and then packaged in Cambodia in eco-friendly glass and aluminum lid packaging, ensuring their freshness. Versatile, star anise can be used in savory dishes (meats, fish, marinades) and fruity desserts (compotes, pies, jams) as well as in infusions, teas, cocktails, and mulled wines. Known for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, it promotes well-being when used in infusions. Khla, a French brand committed to fair trade and quality, offers fine grocery products certified IGP, directly sourced from local producers and packaged in recyclable packaging.
