STAR ANISE
Star Anise, known as Chakra Phool in India, is one of nature's most visually stunning and
aromatic spices — a star-shaped treasure that brings both beauty and flavor to Bharat's
kitchens. Grown in the serene valleys of India's Northeast, this spice is prized for its
sweet, licorice-like aroma and warm, soothing essence. From rich curries and masala
chai to traditional sweets, Star Anise infuses every dish with depth and fragrance. In
Indian culture and Ayurveda, Chakra Phool symbolizes balance - connecting the senses,
body, and spirit through its calming aroma and natural healing powers.
