Great smell. Made in Egypt. I love it. Thanks alot.I decided to leave a comment so that might help some one else who suffers from bloating all the time like me. I have bloating issue even if i eat very little. i love beans, nuts, cabbages and other vegetables that are known for giving people's gases. I tried this probiotic bills and it did not help at all. I remembered something very important my mom used to make for us every single day morning and evening. It is the Anise Tea. This incredible tea just put me back on track with very very miner to zero bloating . I have a liter of it every day and i eat all the nuts and eggs and bread and I feel like my stomach digests all those lovely food nicely. How I do the tea. I boil water about half a liter and add one table spoon of anise seeds and let it sit for 10 minutes and then I drink it with my meal or without any food , no problem. I drink half a liter morning and half in the evening. Try it and see how it will help you.

Invariably when buying a large quantity of seeds or unground spices...I find the separation of seeds from chaff and other byproducts is not performed to a high standard. This package is different...I haven't seen anything but whole seeds. They seem quite fresh and when used for steeping as in tea...render a superior, sweet flavor that I quite enjoy. I am not a black licorice eater and was dissinterested in trying this flavor...it has proven to taste purer, lighter and less harsh than that of licorice. I am drinking this infused in tea for its lactation improving reputation and for its antiflatulent properties....the latter I hope will have some impact on my baby who suffers from gas quite often. Gas drops from the pharmacy don't seem to help. So far I have noticed slight differences in both areas. I would reccomend this brand...as a side note, these seeds come from Egypt.

I bought this product thinking it was star seeds anise , which is not. Doesn't taste much... nothing like Star seeds. really mild flavor for me! But you get a whole bunch of it lol. I will still use it but like i said, its really mild comparing to star seeds anise. Still a good product!

I'm always happy with anything I get from this company!

As a longtime baker of biscotti, I use a lot of anise seeds, and every Christmas I have the same problem - finding them in the grocery stores. Fortunately, this Christmas I found the Starwest Botanicals organic anise seeds - a one-pound bag! What a discovery! They are fresh, come in an airtight resealable foil bag, and are aromatic and flavorful. My family is raving about the flavor of the biscotti. I give them my highest possible rating.

I was very pleased with the scent, flavor, purity, and overall quality of this product after my first purchase.The country of origin, Egypt, is marked on the bag, and the only minor complaint I would have is that there is no clearly marked "best before" date, which would be welcome on such a large bag.Please do not pay any heed to misleading comments disparaging this product on the basis that it is not star anise, these are anise seeds and clearly marked as such.5/5 stars, and I will order this again.

We usually order from this brand but this time the batch is old and the seeds are fermented they don’t make good herbal infusions
