Chinese Five Spice

The beautifully balanced flavors of Chinese Five Spice merge to create one of the world's great spice blends. It engages the whole palate with all five flavors in perfect measure. Try adding a pinch of Chinese Five Spice to your next stir-fry, or rub it on chicken, pork or beef with a bit of sea salt prior to roasting. We also love to use it in baking! Learn how to make the blend and use it in a range of recipes with World Spice at Home.
