Bird's the Word Five Spice

Created in collaboration with cookbook author, lifestyle expert, and fashion designer Peter Som, this bold and aromatic spice blend pays homage to his Chinese-American culinary roots. Inspired by the warming notes of Chinese five spice, Bird’s The Word brings a zesty twist with black lime, balancing sweet and savory flavors in every bite. Perfect as a poultry rub, this versatile blend also elevates roasted veggies, seared steaks, and even Bloody Marys with rich umami depth.
