Temporarily Unavailable... Five Spice Powder is an exotic blend of spices encompassing all of the five flavors of taste, sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, and salty. A staple of traditional Oriental spices used in Chinese cooking, this blend enhances a variety of foods from meats and vegetables, to stews, soups, and beverages. Five Spice Powder includes a blend of Star Anise, Red or Black Peppercorns, Cassia (Cinnamon), Fennel, and Clove. The blending of these spices offers a sweet, savory, and pungent flavor. This blend should be used in recipes calling for a longer cook time in order to bring out the complex flavors of the spices. Each of the spices in the Five Spice Powder represents the five elements of the earth: wood, metal, water, fire, and earth. Thus this blend denotes harmony and careful balance in life. Use sparingly to enhance your menu items.

Ingredient Statement:

Anise Seed, Fennel, Cinnamon, Cloves, Black Peppercorn.

Five Spice Powder is a staple in Chinese kitchens but can be used to compliment American cuisine as well.

Five Spice Powder can also be used in muffins, breads, waffles, cookies or scones. Spice up your burgers by adding some Five Spice Powder to your ground beef or buffalo before cooking or add to your meatloaf recipe and serve with a plum sauce.

Recommended Preparation Instructions:

Use sparingly - the flavor is very potent. Add to recipes as called for. When used in sauces, simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to blend. This spice blend should be cooked for a relatively long amount of time in order to bring out the complex flavors.
