Burlap & Barrel Smoked Star Anise
$9.99Sold by Burlap & Barrel
Our Smoked Star Anise 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. Hint hint: Chew on a petal before cooking with it so you can experience the whole range of flavors. It's a wild ride!

Burlap & Barrel Smoked Black Cardamom
Our Smoked Black Cardamom is a complex spice beloved across South and Central Asia. A larger cousin of cardamom, these pods are pink and purple when fresh, and they turn black as they're smoked over an open fire. The flavor is more resinous and bold than that of its softer, sweeter cousins yellow or green cardamom, and it's at its best in dishes that cook for hours, so its flavor can soften and meld with the other spices (it pairs well with citrus). Our Smoked Black Cardamom is ground for easy use. Sprinkle into stews, lentils and sauces for an irresistible smoky, herbal flavor.

It's the silky, full-bodied, pure flavor of pomegranate, and it's a delight in dressings, marinades, drinks, desserts and drizzles.

This prevents natural fruit sugars from caramelizing, a slow and steady process that preserves the vibrantly fresh fruit flavors and optimizes nutritional value.
