United StatesI decided to try several new spices and Rumi Berbere was the first I used. Green Beans were on the menu and a recipe on the Rumi site looked delicious. The beans were wonderful and my husband and I agreed that we would definitely have them again. The Berbere spice made dinner especially tasty.
United StatesOmg. You have to experience this!! Step out of your comfort zone ⭐️
United StatesI’m new to Afghani spines. This was an amazing discovery, with a flavor that surprised and delighted me. I’ve since used it in many ways; blended with a white sauce at the table, we can each use it to brighten many dishes.
United StatesLast night I made turkey burgers and added a dash of berbere spice to the mix. The burgers were a big hit. This was my first time to use berbere spice. I love experimenting with Rumi spice mixes.
United StatesI grew up with Egyptian foods...love Syrian spices...THIS IS THE BEST. It is fragrant and spicy. There are so many usages. Bake your eggplant with it. Read the spice ingredient and realize there are so many usages for this spice to be added to somethings you cook may be more familiar with. I love it!
