Chinese five spice is a ground spice blend used to season food. The nutritional values given here are calculated from a recipe rather than measured for a specific product. Per 100g, the blend provides 8.7g of fat, 9.5g of protein, 1040mg of calcium and 0.16g of salt.
Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle and nerve function. However, spice blends are usually used in small quantities, so their contribution to nutrient intake is much lower than the figures per 100g suggest. Ingredients and salt content can vary between products. Full nutrient figures for this recipe are shown in the tables below.
