How much does 3 whole star anise grind down to?

The amount of ground star anise obtained from three whole pods can vary depending on the size of the pods and how finely they are ground. Generally, three whole star anise pods will yield approximately 1 to 2 teaspoons of ground spice. This can differ based on the grinding method and personal preference for coarseness. Always consider that ground spices may lose potency over time, so it's best to grind them fresh as needed.
