Star anise
Jigaroma star anise powder delivers a powerful anethole-rich profile with warm, sweet and licorice notes ideal for professional food applications.
Available in powder and whole fruit.
A true gem of Asian cuisine, star anise is much more than just an aesthetically pleasing spice. At Jigaroma, we source our fruit from the heart of its native regions, where it has been cultivated for over 3,000 years.
Unlike industrial spices which have lost their essential oils, our selection guarantees a maximum concentration of anethole (13 times sweeter than sugar) and linalool, offering unique floral and fresh notes. Whether in whole fruit form for your slow infusions or as a fine powder for your spice blends, we offer you a pure, aromatic ingredient steeped in history, ready to enhance your culinary creations or wellness formulations.
Intense "Licorice and Freshness" Profile
A complex balance dominated by the warmth of anethole and the vibrancy of linalool. This profile is distinguished by a striking natural sweetness and hints of eucalyptus and pine, offering a depth far superior to classic green anise.
Master of Broths & Marinades
The secret ingredient for authentic pho broths, marinades for braised meats (pork, beef), or shellfish stocks. Its ability to create "meat" aromas by reacting with the sulfur compounds of garlic and onion makes it an indispensable ally for formulators of ready-made meals.
Wellness Applications
Beyond the table, star anise is recognized for its medicinal properties (digestive comfort, soothing) and its richness in shikimic acid, a key component of antiviral solutions. A versatile ingredient for infusions, syrups, and detox drinks.
