Best Seven-spice for home cooking
What Seven-spice is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
The blend the books still call Seven-spice — a working jar, not a garnish word.
In Lebanese cooking, Seven-spice is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.
Taste Seven-spice before you empty the spoon. Fresh jars smell like themselves; tired ones smell like dust. Buy the smallest amount you will finish.
