Import Dried Star Anise — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Viet Nam

Dried Star Anise from Blue Lotus Exim Co., Ltd. is harvested in the northern highlands of Viet Nam, where the climate supports consistent oil content and pod integrity. The product is sun-dried to a moisture content of 8 - 10%, with whole pods typically measuring 25 - 30 mm in diameter and containing 6 - 8 carpels. Each batch is sorted to remove broken pods and foreign matter, with visible impurities kept below 1.5% by weight. The spice retains its natural anethole aroma, with no chemical additives or sulfur treatments applied during processing.

The star anise is graded as industrial grade, meaning it meets standard thresholds for color, aroma, and physical uniformity expected in commercial food manufacturing. Typical anise oil content ranges from 3.5% to 5.5% by weight, consistent with Vietnamese-grown varieties. Pods are free from mold, insect damage, or signs of rehydration. Unlike lower-grade material, this batch avoids excessive darkening or cracking, which can indicate improper drying or prolonged storage.

This product is sourced for use in spice blends, pharmaceutical extracts, and flavored beverages, particularly in markets requiring Kosher or Halal-compliant ingredients. Buyers include food processors in Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America who require consistent batch-to-batch quality. Packaging is in 10 kg polypropylene bags with inner food-grade liners, stacked on pallets for container shipment. Lead time is typically 15 - 20 days after order confirmation. Payment terms accepted include T/T and L/C, with FOB Ho Chi Minh City as the standard Incoterm.
