A classic Chinese blend of star anise, cassia buds, fennel, cloves, and Sichuan peppercorns

Essential for braised dishes and meat BBQs. The aniseed flavor of five-spice blends well with duck and pork, and is delicious with sautéed vegetables. Mixed with salt, it makes a great dry rub for chicken, pork, or seafood. It can also be used in fruit desserts: poached pears, plum compotes, or even apple pie.

Ingredients: fennel, star anise, cassia buds, Sichuan pepper, cloves.
