Frequently Asked Questions
What is injera and how do I make it?
Injera is Ethiopia's iconic fermented flatbread, made from teff flour batter left to sour before cooking on a hot griddle. Mix teff flour with water, ferment for 2-3 days, then cook like pancakes. Our teff flour ensures the perfect tangy texture.
What is berbere spice used for?
Berbere is a cornerstone Ethiopian spice blend with chilli, garlic, ginger, and more, used in stews like doro wat or as a rub for meats. Start with a teaspoon per serving to build heat gradually. It stores well in an airtight jar away from light.
Are these ingredients suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, most Ethiopian staples like teff, lentils for misir wat, and shiro chickpeas are naturally vegetarian or vegan. Check product labels for any additions, but our range prioritises authentic, plant-based options.
How should I store Ethiopian spices?
Keep spices like berbere and mitmita in cool, dry cupboards in airtight containers to retain flavour for up to a year. Whole spices last longer; grind fresh for maximum aroma in your cooking.
What Ethiopian dishes can I try first?
Begin with simple misir wat (spicy lentils) served on injera, or kitfo if you enjoy raw beef. Our ingredients make these accessible – pair with honey wine (tej) for an authentic feast.
