Experience the flavors of the Far East with 100% Certified Organic Chinese Five Spice. Based on the Chinese culinary philosophy of balancing yin and yang in foods, Chinese Five Spice combines the five primary flavors of traditional Chinese cooking: sweet, sour, hot (spicy), bitter and salty. Although there are many regional variations, our 100% Certified Organic Chinese Five Spice blend features the traditional blend of star anise, cloves, cinnamon, fennel seed and black pepper. Great in Asian dishes and as a rub for meats and seafood, Chinese Five Spice can also be added to familiar favorites for an exotic flavor boost.
