Berbere is the quintessential spice blend of Ethiopian cuisine. It’s earthy, slightly sweet and spicy flavor adds a rustic, bold flavor to traditional dishes and grilled meats.

Cumin is especially associated with Morocco, where it is often the fragrance of the abundant street cookery of the Medinas. Cumin is a crucial ingredient in several world cuisines from, boasting a peppery and slightly citrus flavor, warm aroma and earthy essence.

Dukkah (sometimes transliterated to “duqqa”) is a warm, fragrant blend of nuts, seeds and spices that is traditionally used as a condiment in many Middle Eastern cuisines. Our nut-free version uses crunchy flaxseeds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds to achieve its signature crunch.

Harissa is a hot chile paste ubiquitous in North African cuisine and made from a variety of spicy chiles. Our blend is crafted from hand chosen chiles (including African Birdseye Chiles), finely ground and blended with other traditional spices to create our Harissa Spice Blend.

Sumac is simply the tangy, citrusy powder from the fruit of the sumac shrub, most often used in classic Middle Eastern seasonings. It is an essential ingredient in Arabic, Turkish, Iranian, and Moroccan foods, being preferred to lemon for sourness and astringency.

Tumeric provides a warm, aromatic flavor with a slightly bitter undertone. Turmeric was traditionally called “Indian saffron” because of its deep yellow-orange color.
