Chinese Five-Spice

Chinese Five-Spice is a traditional Chinese spice blend used widely in Chinese and other East Asian cuisines to season meats, stir-fries and marinades; it combines star anise, cloves, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper and fennel seed for a warm, aromatic profile. Nutritionally it is notable for being concentrated in plant fiber and minerals — it provides 24.8g of fiber per 100g and is a good source of iron and manganese — though it is typically used in small amounts as a flavoring rather than a bulk food. Because it is made from whole dried spices, Chinese Five-Spice contributes minerals and flavor without added salt or fats, making it an easy way to boost taste and micronutrients in dishes while keeping calories and sodium low.
