USimplySeason Berbere Spice, 4.8oz: Great tasting Berbere
Ethiopian is my favorite world cuisine and this great-tasting Berbere is helping me make Ethiopian recipes at home. I used this Berbere to make a Misir Wat and both members of my household thought it tasted great. This Berbere is spicy in the best way without being hot. I love that I can easily control the sodium because the spice blend is salt-free. There is an expiration date stamped on the bottom of the bottle and it is over a year and a half out-- we will not have a problem using this up by then.

    I've come across a couple of recipes calling for Xawaash (also known as Xawash) an herbal mixture originating from Somalia and Yemen. I like the flavor but have not found other Xawaash to compare it with. I checked two African Supermarkets here in town and neither had it or had heard of it. I ordered this from Amazon and have been pleased with the dishes I've made with it.

    I ordered this spice mix because I was looking for new flavors in my cooking. It tastes like a curry, but different from other curries I've had. I use a generous amount on sautéed vegetables or potatoes. I think it's very delicious. It has some spice but not an excessive amount. There is no salt added. I only gave it 4 stars because I ordered the 4.8 ounce and received the 2.4 ounce. It's too bad because it's so good that it won't last very long.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Tasty - makes quick side dishes easy as well
    Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021
    Flavor Name: XawaashSize: 2.4 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    One of my sons is from Ethiopia and we love the cuisine. This spice mix is very tasty, and while I do use it in main dishes, I have found that it's great to use when I want to whip up a quick and flavorful side dish, such as a cold salad of white beans, tomatoes, and chick peas for example. Makes a delicious change from the usual (olive oil, a bit of sea salt, and pepper). It's definitely more flavorful than hot, which makes it approachable for people who can't take the heat of a mitmita for example. I will definitely order more of this when I run out.

    The review asked me to rate "Thickness" and "Warmth", which don't really make sense for a dry spice mix, but I gave them 5 stars anyway.
