• 12.
  For You: Mekelesha |መከለሻ| Spice Blend

  Image Source

  Traditionally, Mekelesha is added in the final stages of cooking to round out the flavors of the dish. A carefully crafted balance of savory and warm spices, it has the nutty, almost bittersweet sharpness of caraway, complemented by the presence of warm, earthy Shai Kimem (cinnamon, cloves, cardamom). So get cooking! And remember, a little spoonful is all you need to add that last punch to all your dishes!
• 13.
  For You: Mitmita |ሚጥሚጣ| Hot Chili Pepper Blend

  Image Source

  Alright iron-mouth I see you. Think you stand the heat? Test your tolerance with our carefully crafted Mitmita (pronounced // meet-mit-ah). Toss it into your favorite pasta sauce, add it to a dry rub for grilled meats, or simply sprinkle a bit on top of any dish for that extra kick! We do recommend you proceed with caution on this one though, as it is one fiery mixture & doesn’t feel great when snorted/inhaled.
