Smoked Star Anise | Burlap & Barrel

Sourced by Burlap & Barrel, smoked star anise (winter harvest) is picked by hand in the mountains near the border between Vietnam and China. The cold, cloudy weather during the winter harvest means the star anise fruits need to be dried on racks near a wood fire, and they pick up a beautiful hint of smokiness. Add petals to stocks, braised meats, rice, teas and cocktails, or grind them up for desserts and baked goods.  Ingredients: 100% true star anise fruits, slightly smoked Burlap & Barrel is a social enterprise working directly with smallholder farmers to source unique, heritage spices.
