Spicy World Berbere Spice Blend 3.5oz | Authentic Ethiopian Seasoning Hand-Blended | Rich 14-Spice Mix for Flavorful Dishes

The recipe I had for shiro involved making your own berbere. But 90% of the effort that went into the stew was making the spice mix. So I saved myself a lot of effort and got this mix. It worked great, and the recipe is delicious (New York Times). Some spice mixes are worth buying rather than making, and I'd say this is one of them. If you like spicy (hot) food, this is a mix worth having on-hand.

It's definitely spicy. Fresh, quality product. I used it on baked chicken and am looking forward to trying it with other foods.

I purchased the berbere for a recipe and was really outright impressed with the depth of flavor and the delicious spiciness of the mix. I'm using it allot now and not just for that One recipe.

I loved the smell and the taste, before the spice kicks in. I used 1tsbp on some lentils and am going to throw most of of it away, it's too hot. I love the blend but will need to find a milder bere bere to be my go-to and use this sparingly. If you love flaming hot food, then this is the bere bere for you.

Traditional to Ethiopia this is a spice mix not just a single spice. Deep dark red color when cooking, strong pepper taste that is fully of umami and deep rich flavors. Try something new! We did, stuff was cheap and now we have a new fav spice to break out to end the monotony of "what's for dinner".

This definitely has a kick to it. I love the aroma and it has a nice flavor to it. I would definitely recommend this for people who enjoy a little Spice in their food.

As an Ethiopian who's had berbere sourced from many different places, I'll say that this is only somewhat reminiscent of the blends I grew up on or enjoyed in Addis Ababa. This blend tastes good (just *good,* compared to normal berbere), and the heat level is a bit overdone. I'll give it 3/5 stars as it'll definitely add some character to your dishes but if you're going for authenticity, my tastebuds and I are in agreement that you're probably not well served using this for your injera or as a staple in your cooking. We're also looking at a pretty steep price, and you can probably put together what you have in your spice cabinet to make berbere of similar quality.

This is doing its Dang on Thing! Trust the Process I won’t need anything else with that much of KICK! Before Jesus Comes Back !
