Selected User Reviews For The Spice Way Star Anise - whole ( 3 oz ) great for baking and tea

My fault, but I won't be able to join! The way these feel to me is not quite clear to me Despite its name, the scent does not smell like anything I am familiar with and I find it odd
3/5

There is a distinctly different smell to it, and it is not overpowering. In the meantime, I am trying it out in something else. Generally, the aroma around the kitchen is just such a strange smell it's barely noticeable, sweet, and slightly minty (hence, it's going to be difficult to describe). This product does not appeal to me or seem like something I'd recommend. Do you know if there are different types of anise that I'm In all, I am not sure for now and the smell does not speak to me, therefore, I would rate it a three out of five. In addition to the smell, I am not used to anise smelling like licorice or black pepper. I grew up on this stuff and know what it should taste and smell like. Not It will be interesting to see how it turns out. I just updated Although I like the taste, its smell and taste aren't the right ones A different company is probably where I will get anise from. It is a nice package and appears okay, but I just can't get into it. *This is the last update *This is the last update Sad to say, I am going to have to throw this out due to the chemical smell. I'm changing this to a 2 star rating.

I would not recommend buying this! As soon as I opened it, I found that it lacked any It is quite strong, especially since this was a large bag
3/5

I held the product up to my nose to get a slight hint of anise. If you have ever used, you know the smell is usually extremely strong. Whether this has been used already and then re-issued I have no idea A maximum profit is obtained by drying Unfortunately, it is of no use. compared it to a small bag of Badia in my spice rack - it was the same Despite the difference in time, it is still night. Even potpourri can't be made with it You're not allowed to use This product is a waste of money, do not buy it!.

This is horrible
3/5

The tea bags were purchased for tea and other things, but they were not sealed as if they were returns. There is a smell and a taste to it The taste is similar to It's definitely not something I want to use!.

The food was tasty, but it was broken
3/5

We received the order in a timely manner and all was as expected, with the exception of a few broken pieces in about 80% of the whole star anise. My guess is they've gone into the bag already broken, because I find it hard to imagine so many of them were broken in shipping. Star anise is a flavorful spice, but whole anise is often used as a decorative element, so having them whole is essential. As part of putting together some tea gifts, my objective was to make the whole spices look their best. If 20 percent were broken, but 80 percent were whole, I would have been okay with that. However, it seems unusual that 80% of the system is broken.

There were a lot of broken stars in Star Anise
3/5

A lot of the stars were broken, so the movie was disappointing. There were also very few stars in the sky that appeared to be of poor They are one of the things I bought for the appearance as well as for We are disappointed.

This is the weight of one large star anise
4/5

Stores are all I have ever used Although I have previously purchased star anise in jars with all the stars whole and uniformly sized, I was surprised at both the wide variety of sizes and the amount of broken pieces in this bag, but it will be usable if I follow the guide I found on the web. Additionally, please be aware that one regular size star anise weighs between 0. 01 and 0. 02 ounces. The weight is 7g and the weight is 1g. I am using that mix of sizes and broken pieces as the basis of what I am doing, and it seems to give me just It's DEFINITELY a cheaper price than in the store If you use it a lot like I do (Thai Iced Tea), I recommend purchasing jars of it. Furthermore, the bag in which it comes is very sturdy and secure, plus it comes with a zip top that provides excellent airtight freshness for a long period of time. So yes, I will definitely purchase it again whenever this runs out because the bag contains so much butter.

This is fresh! As a beginner chef, I saw a video by a celebrity chef recommending that when I make rice, I should add a few Star of Anise as well as cardamon along with the salt to add some In my rice cooker, I use a tea bag (meant for loose tea) that I add the seasonings to so I can just remove the one pouch after all of the rice is cooked
5/5

I am obsessed with the taste of the rice since I tried it and this item is a great way to make sure I have one of the spices on hand in the kitchen at all times.

There is a mixed bag of things to choose from
5/5

My use for star anise is in things like tea and soup, so I really don't care about how it looks. But I was pleasantly surprised at how many nice-looking pods we found! In addition to broken pieces, here is a star anise that may not meet your needs if pristine pods are what you seek. Although for me, the flavor is wonderful, the price is excellent, and there is NO SOLUTION DIOXIDE in the product! That's why I'm all for it.
