Star Anise Seeds (Anis Estrella) (2oz-4oz-8oz-1lb-2lbs-5lbs-10lbs)

Illicium verum is a medium-sized evergreen tree native to northeast Vietnam and southwest China. A spice commonly called star anise, star anise, star anise seed, Chinese star anise or badiam that closely resembles anise in flavor is obtained from the star-shaped pericarp of the fruit of Illicium verum which are harvested just before ripening. Star anise oil is a highly fragrant oil used in cooking, perfumery, soaps, toothpastes, mouthwashes, and skin creams. About 90% of the world’s star anise crop is used for extraction of shikimic acid, a chemical intermediate used in the synthesis of oseltamivir. Culinary useStar anise pods contains anethole, the same ingredient that gives the unrelated anise its flavor. Recently, star anise has come into use in the West as a less expensive substitute for anise in baking, as well as in liquor production, most distinctively in the production of the liqueur Galliano. It is also used in the production of Sambuca, pastis, and many types of absinthe. Star anise enhances the flavor of meat. It is used as a spice in preparation of biryani and masala chai all over the Indian subcontinent. It is widely used in Chinese cuisine, and in Malay and Indonesian cuisines. It is widely grown for commercial use in China, India, and most other countries in Asia. Star anise is an ingredient of the traditional five-spice powder of Chinese cooking. It is also a major ingredient in the making of phở, a Vietnamese noodle soup.It is also used in the French recipe of mulled wine: called vin chaud (hot wine). Medicinal useStar anise pods is the major source of the chemical compound shikimic acid, a primary precursor in the pharmaceutical synthesis of (Tamiflu). Shikimic acid is produced by most autotrophic organisms, and whilst it can be obtained in commercial quantities elsewhere, star anise remains the usual industrial source. In 2005, a temporary shortage of star anise was caused by its use in the production of Tamiflu. Later that year, a method for the production of shikimic acid using bacteria was discovered. Roche now derives some of the raw material it needs from fermentation by E. coli bacteria. The 2009 swine flu outbreak led to another series of shortages, as stocks of Tamiflu were built up around the world, sending prices soaring.In traditional Chinese medicine, star anise is considered a warm and moving herb, and used to assist in relieving cold-stagnation in the middle Jiao.

Made with 100% pure Vermont maple syrup, maple candy makes a wonderful gift for friends and family, teachers, neighbors, your postman, grandma & grandpa, co-workers, and yes, even the boss. WHY our candy vs. another? I dare you (actually double dog dare you) to buy some from the store then taste ours. In the store, (and some on Etsy) they dip each maple candy in a crystalline coating so it lasts for months. When they dip the candy in this crystalline coating, it makes the candy dry and gritty. Our candy IS NOT coated, so it will MELT IN YOUR MOUTH. It has a 2 week shelf life; although with refrigeration it will last for 1-2 months. If you want to buy it in the store, you will pay $47.89/lb or $41.49/lb. You have no idea how long ago this candy was made. Your choice.

I ate half the box in less than an hour, it has to be the tastiest maple candy I’ve ever had, and I love maple candy. I just found the person who will be making the favors for my wedding; I will DEFINITELY be buying from her again. I can’t say enough good things about this candy. «My husband likes to run, and was using «goo» or gel type energy packets. They work, but they are just sugar and chemicals. So he started using maple syrup, but that can get sticky. So I suggested using maple candies, and they really do the trick. They don’t leak and get sticky. They are pre-portioned. And they really work, when he is in a race or out running and is getting exhausted, he will use the maple syrup or candies, and get a burst of stamina/energy to finish the run.»Keeping the candy fresh – Our maple candy is made in small batches and shipped fresh with a 1-2 month shelf life, after which the candy is still eatable, but simply starts to harden. You can extend the shelf life by refrigerating the candy in a Zip Lock bag.How do we make your maple candy? It usually starts with my husband, Kevin, coming home from work and yelling, “who wants to make maple candy?” (this is a joke in our house!) Nobody usually answers him! He heads downstairs to our commercial kitchen and starts to heat the syrup to temperature. He cools it and then the fun begins. I help with the candy machine, and when it comes to packaging, we get the help from our 10 year old son and 13 year old daughter. (Yes, I make sure they wash their hands BEFORE coming into the kitchen……..did I mention that I am a nurse too?) We can make up to 18 lbs in a batch; that usually lasts us a few days until we have to make another batch. We really enjoy making our candy this way, we have RAVE reviews and people come back for more…..often! I even seem to be shipping 6 lbs at a time to several customers; monthly! I’m ALWAYS willing to ship internationally; just ask for a quote.Have any questions? Posted with eBay Mobile Add a map to your own listings. FREE Trial!
