Add a touch of Middle Eastern magic to your baking with Greenfields Mahlab Powder – the secret spice with notes of cherry, almond, and warmth.

Mahlab

Typically described as:
Mahlab powder is made from the ground seeds of the St Lucie cherry, a treasured ingredient in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean kitchens. It has a truly distinctive flavour – a delicate balance of cherry, almond, and warm spice that adds depth and elegance to both sweet and savoury dishes. This finely ground powder is cherished for the way it transforms baked goods, desserts, and even rich meat stews with a unique, fragrant twist.

Mahlab is an ingredient that instantly transports you to traditional kitchens, where it has been used for centuries to enrich breads, biscuits, and festive treats. Its convenience in powder form makes it easy to blend into your recipes – simply stir into doughs, cake batters, or spice rubs to unlock its nutty, slightly floral character. Beyond breads, it finds a place in gourmet creations:

  1. Bake it into festive Middle Eastern ma’amoul cookies for an authentic flavour.

  2. Add a pinch to homemade brioche, giving it an aromatic, almond-like undertone.

  3. Mix into scones or muffins for a fruity, nutty twist.

  4. Blend into rice pudding or semolina desserts for a luxurious depth.

  5. Stir into spiced syrups to drizzle over pancakes or baklava.

  6. Add to slow-cooked lamb or beef stews for warmth and subtle complexity.

  7. Pair with orange zest and cinnamon in sweet breads.

  8. Fold into whipped cream or custards for an elegant dessert base.

  9. Use in Middle Eastern pastries alongside pistachios and dates.

  10. Add a whisper to your morning porridge or granola mix for a fragrant lift.

Extra tip: Mahlab’s flavour is potent – a little goes a long way. It’s best added towards the start of baking or cooking so the warmth develops evenly.
