Ginger & Chinese 5 Spice

Chinese 5 spice powder is made of star anise, fennel, cinnamon (cassia), Sichuan pepper, and clove. It's known as China's culinary Yin and Yang as the perfect blend of spices which delights every taste sensation. It's a mainstay in Chinese, Taiwanese cooking and is used with pork, poultry, and seafood.

Our organic ginger is perfect for Teas, BBQ seasoning mixes, Chinese master stock, Jamacian jerk spices, red and green curry blends, curry powders, tandoori seasonings, Ras El Hanout. Since antiquity, there have been references to ginger's cultivation by both the ancient Chinese and Hindus, suggesting that it may have originated somewhere between northern India and eastern Asia.

WHISKEY SOUR WITH CHINESE 5 SPICE

Let's start off with a twist on a whiskey sour. Create a Chinese 5 spice syrup by mixing 1/2 teaspoon of spice with sugar over the stove. Add to your regular drink to create a spiced whiskey!

 

MANGO GINGER GLAZED SALMON


Use our organic ground ginger in your salmon glaze. Top it off with a mango or pineapple salsa to create a fresh and bright flavor that compliments the fish. Add more depth and color by serving it over a bed of purple mashed potatoes.
