Berbere is more than just a spice mix – it is the beating heart of Ethiopian cuisine. Complex, warm, and slightly smoky, it’s the key ingredient that transforms simple dishes into unforgettable feasts. Traditionally used in slow-cooked stews such as doro wat (spiced chicken stew) or lentil misir wat, this seasoning has found its place in modern kitchens worldwide, prized for its ability to balance heat, depth, and fragrance.

With Greenfields Berbere, you don’t need an Ethiopian pantry to experience authentic flavours – this ready blend is perfectly balanced and versatile enough for everyday cooking. Whether you’re spicing up meat, vegetables, grains, or soups, it will bring an adventurous, fiery edge to your meals.
