This generally means higher sorting costs and lower prices for 'imperfect' stars. We, of course, don't partake in that! For us, it's all about the taste. According to an old Chinese tradition, an 8-pointed star even brings good luck. Because our star anise contains many different shapes, we have named it Lucky Star Anise. There's a good chance you'll find an 8-pointed star among them! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Good Spice","offers":[{"title":"Can","offer_id":55985430298956,"sku":"SI-20-TIN-30","price":6.65,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Repack","offer_id":55985430331724,"sku":"SI-20-REP-30","price":5.65,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/9615\/4956\/files\/Lucky_Star_Anis_tin.jpg?v=1775727206"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/9615\/4956\/collections\/IMG20251112162821.jpg?v=1763569400","url":"https:\/\/thegoodspice.nl\/en\/collections\/steranijs.oembed","provider":"The Good Spice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
