Description: A classic blend of Chinese spices that imparts warming, sweet-spicy, flavors and aromas in everything from stir fries to baked goods and gets its name, not from the number of spices found in the mix but for its ability to touch all five taste elements: sweet, bitter, sour, salty, and savory.
While the ingredients (and amounts) found in Chinese Five Spice blends can vary greatly from region to region with the most notable being from the Sichuan province which substitutes Sichuan peppercorns for the ginger found in most other blends, Tasmanian Spice Traders' proprietary mix of premium Chinese spices sticks to the classic and more versatile "Northern style" which can be used to flavor both sweet and savory dishes.
