SPICE ADVICE:Ā RAS EL HANOUT

ļ»æThe blend-iest blend weā€™ve ever blended, Ras El Hanout. Literally translating to "head of the shop," this Moroccan blend was created as the ultimate spice-flex for merchants and shop owners. Allowing them to feature their ā€œtopā€ spices (often up to 100) in a single blend. But, donā€™t let that number overwhelm you if youā€˜re thinking of making your own, or if youā€™re not big on lots of spices. Today, the blend can be found with up too 100 spices, or as little as 7! We use 12 :) ā£
ā£
Though popular in Moroccan and other North African cuisine, most of the spices used in this blend didnā€™t originate in Morocco, rather they were brought over during the Columbus-era spice trade. While thereā€˜s a basic foundation of spices usually found in Ras el Hanout, like cardamom, cinnamon, and cumin, at the end of the day itā€™s literally a blend of whatever spices youā€™re feeling especially into (within reason). ā£
ā£
Because thereā€™s no ā€œtraditionalā€ recipe, the flavor profile is unique to the person making the blend. Ours is a mix of spicy, sweet, and savoryā€”perfect for rubs and marinades, rice and other grains, soups and stews, or even sprinkled over some snacks like popcorn or roasted veggies.
