Asian Blend brings together sweet, warm spices with a gentle peppery kick and a touch of savory flavor. Star Anise, Cinnamon, Cloves, Ginger, and Fennel create an aromatic blend that makes simple grains taste anything but ordinary.
Sprinkle it into rice as you fluff it, stir it into couscous, or use it to season noodles, vegetables, chicken, shrimp, and stir-fries. Start with about ½ teaspoon per cup of cooked grains and add more to taste.
