Get ready to embark on a flavorful journey with the 𝐄𝐫𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲'𝐬 Spice of the Month Club!
 
October's spice is Chinese 5-Spice!

Chinese Five-Spice Powder is a potent and aromatic blend of five spices that are thought to embody the five basic flavors of Chinese cuisine: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. Traditionally, this blend includes star anise, cloves, Chinese cinnamon (or cassia), Sichuan pepper, and fennel seeds, though variations may exist. It's widely used in Chinese cooking to season meats, stir-fries, and marinades, offering a unique balance of flavors that is both complex and harmonious, and capable of transforming a simple dish into something distinctly rich and memorable.
