Chinese 5 Spice

A classic Chinese spice blend, this aromatic mixture is traditionally used to season roast pork, pan fried foods, duck, rice, and virtually any type of stir fry. Our blend combines fragrant star anise with spicy Szechuan peppercorns and the sweetness of cinnamon and cloves. Finely ground fennel seeds balance and unite the flavors.

Popular throughout China and southeast Asia, this seasoning is great for marinades, sauces and stir fry. An exotic combination of taste elements, Chinese Five Spice tempts and delights the palate. The Chinese believe that it is important to incorporate the principal of the yin and the yang into their meals, thus the heat of a dish should be counter-balanced by an equally cooling ingredient. When you try this seasoning blend you will be amazed at how beautifully the flavors of sweet, warm, cool and spicy all blend. A pinch can add new excitement to muffins, nut breads, or even pancake or waffle batter. Once you try this exotic blend of spices you may just want to put it on everything you eat. Salt Free.
