Chinese Five Spice Powder is a classic seasoning blend used in Chinese cuisine. It is known for its aromatic and complex flavor profile, combining five different spices.

Star Anise: This is one of the most prominent ingredients in Chinese Five Spice Powder. Star anise provides a licorice-like, sweet, and slightly peppery flavor.

Cloves: Cloves add a warm and sweet flavor with a hint of spiciness to the blend. They also contribute to the powder’s strong aroma.

Chinese Cassia (Cinnamon): Chinese cassia is a type of cinnamon that adds a sweet and woody element to the spice mix. It is similar to traditional cinnamon but has a slightly different flavor.

Sichuan (Szechuan) Peppercorns: These peppercorns are known for their numbing and tingling sensation rather than heat. They provide a unique and zesty dimension to the spice blend.

Fennel Seeds or Chinese Five Spice Powder: Fennel seeds or Chinese five spice powder, depending on the recipe and regional variations, may be included. Fennel seeds contribute a slight licorice-like sweetness and a hint of earthiness.
