As we usher in the Year of the Dragon, the blend of traditional and modern elements in Chinese New Year (CNY) culinary traditions offers our customers a unique chance to innovate while preserving cherished customs. Seasonings Specialities stands at the forefront, providing an array of seasonings, oleoresins, food flavors, and natural colors to enrich the festive gastronomy.
Tradition Meets Innovation
No CNY celebration is complete without classic dishes such as steamed fish and wontons, which symbolize prosperity and good fortune. According to culinary experts, these dishes are integral to the festivities, each carrying its own narrative and significance. Our offerings can enhance these traditional recipes, allowing our customers to retain the dishes' authentic essence while adapting their flavors to suit contemporary tastes.
The Art of Dumplings
Dumplings stand as a quintessential element of Chinese New Year festivities, their shape echoing the form of ancient Chinese silver ingots to symbolize wealth. The true magic of dumplings lies in their versatility, with their potential to encase a myriad of fillings, thereby serving as a canvas for culinary ingenuity. Our diverse range of food flavors, including our exquisite chicken and flounder fish seasonings, can introduce a delightful twist to this traditional favorite. By incorporating these seasonings, chefs and home cooks alike are empowered to explore a spectrum of flavors, marrying the comforting taste of chicken or the delicate subtlety of flounder with the rich cultural heritage of dumplings. This blend of modern tastes with traditional values encourages a celebration of the Lunar New Year that honors the past while eagerly embracing the innovations of the future.
Unity in Whole Chicken
The tradition of serving a whole chicken, symbolizing unity and prosperity, is deeply ingrained in Chinese New Year celebrations. To elevate this practice, our complete seasoning blend offers a harmonious combination of flavors that perfectly complements the natural succulence of the chicken. This not only enhances the taste but also elevates the presentation, making the whole chicken a stunning centerpiece for the reunion dinner. With our complete seasoning, families can enjoy a dish that is steeped in tradition yet bursts with contemporary flavor, truly embodying the spirit of unity and good fortune.
Nian Gao: A Sweet Tradition
Nian Gao, or sticky rice cake, is a quintessential delicacy during Chinese New Year, embodying the essence of growth and prosperity in the coming year. Its name, a homophone for "higher year" in Chinese, carries the symbolism of rising fortune and the promise of a more prosperous future. Traditionally made from glutinous rice flour and sweetened with sugar, Nian Gao's sticky texture is also symbolic, representing the family's bond and the stickiness of good luck.
Seasonings Specialties' range of natural flavors can be instrumental in this creative process, providing the tools to craft a Nian Gao that resonates with the modern palate without losing the essence of this time-honored tradition.

Whether it's enhancing the flavor profiles of traditional dishes or introducing contemporary twists, our range of products is designed to meet the demands of today's market while respecting cultural heritage. Together, let's celebrate the Lunar New Year with flavors that bridge the past and the future, honoring the rich traditions of the festival while welcoming the innovations that lie ahead.
