Berbere Spice Blend
Berbere is a signature spice blend that defines the vibrant and fiery flavors of Ethiopian and Eritrean cooking. This deeply aromatic mix combines chili powder, ginger, coriander, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, and fenugreek, offering layered warmth with both heat and complexity.
Traditionally used in both dry and paste forms, Tuna Spice’s Berbere delivers authenticity and intensity to a wide range of applications, from slow-cooked stews (like Doro Wat) to marinated meats, lentil dishes, and plant-based recipes.
The Berbere blend formulated by Tuna Spice is ideal for slow-cooked meat dishes, lentil-based stews, and marinated grilled products. The product's heat level is balanced through the precise proportioning of imported red pepper and local hot spices. It has a wide range of uses, from classic cuisines to modern gourmet recipes.
