Anise is the oldest of cultivated spices and was enjoyed by the early Egyptians, Greeks and Romans.

The flavor of anise can be found in many cordial liqueurs, including the French anisette, patis, ricard and pernod, Greek ouzo, and Turkish taki and arrak.

Anise is very good with chicken, fish and seafood, figs, tropical fruits, leeks, oxtail, pork, pumpkin, and root vegetables

We are pleased to offer both whole anise stars for use where appearance is important and anise star pieces for a more economical flavoring alternative.

Anise works well with cinnamon, chilis, coriander, garlic, and ginger.

When storing herbs and spices packaging is an important consideration.  Plastic zip seal bags allow aroma and taste to escape and shorten the flavor life of your herbs and spices.

We package our herbs and spices in food grade PET plastic jars.  These clear, dense jars allow you to see your herbs and spices while still sealing in all the aroma and flavor so you get maximum life from your ingredients.

We are happy to offer the finest quality individual herbs, spices and other ingredients for baking and cooking at very economical prices.
