Chinese Five Spice is based on the five elements - wood, fire, earth, metal and water. In Chinese cooking, these five elements translate to both tastes - sour, bitter, salty, sweet and umami, as well as the five main organs that they are said to benefit - the liver, heart, kidney, spleen and liver. Traditional Chinese Medicine has used herbs and spices for thousands of years to restore balance in the body and Chinese Five Spice originates from this philosophy.
A high quality, stoneground Chinese Five Spice saturates the senses with its distinctive sweet, woody, slightly floral and liquorice laden scent. A blend that covers all the flavour bases, it’s also used in almost all branches of Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine, imparting them with its signature sweet and tangy flavour.
This Chinese seasoning is a perfectly balanced blend of handcrafted organic spices and a tremendously versatile wonder seasoning. A little goes a long way toward lifting savoury meats, veggies, soups and stir-fries and even gingerbread-style sweets and desserts.
Spice Zen’s Chinese Five Spice pairs beautifully with your favourite stir fry and rice dishes. Sprinkle on to barbecue pork, roast duck or spare ribs before cooking, use it to season breadcrumbs as a savoury coating before frying, or mix it with orange juice, soy sauce and honey to make a glaze for ham and other baked meats.
Certified Organic Ingredients: Cinnamon, Sichuan Pepper, Fennel seed, Star Anise and Cloves.
No added sweeteners, preservatives, flavourings, dairy, flour, gluten, nuts, salt, sugar, onion, garlic
