New fans for spice (7)
I believe the answer is:
saffron
'spice' is the definition.
(I know that saffron is a type of spice)
'new fans for' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'fans'+'for'='fansfor'
'fansfor' is an anagram of 'SAFFRON'.
(Other definitions for saffron that I've seen before include "Culinary spice" , "- - Walden" , "Flavouring derived from a species of crocus" , "additive found in rice" , "Fans for, say orange food flavour and colouring" .)
