Berbere, a vibrant spice blend hailing from Ethiopia, is a cornerstone of East African cuisine. Known for its bold, complex flavor profile, it combines bold assertive flavors like garlic and cumin and tempers them with the warmth of cinnamon and ginger. The result is a warming heat - perfect for stews, grains, poultry and roasted vegetables.
Sourced from traditional Ethiopian farms, this Berbere delivers unparalleled freshness while also honoring the cultural heritage of its craft. In addition to its distinctive bold flavor, it could also provide potential health benefits, like supporting digestion and boosting metabolism.
