The red chili is dried and the seeds are taken out before being crushed into beautiful red flakes. Pul Biber belongs to the milder varieties of chili, rating only 5-10,000 on the Scoville scale.

Five Spice is one of the most popular and classic spices in Asian cuisine and incorporates five flavours of the Chinese cuisine – sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty. The light anise-like taste is a hit with both children and adults.
Five-Spice is immensely suited to duck, where it can be used in a marinade brushed on the duck, and as a rub on the duck breast. Five Spice can also be used in cakes, especially for the classic Christmas charm that the spice lends to chocolates and other confectionery.
