Brundo Spice's Imported Ethiopian Berbere Chili Pepper Blend (8 oz) | Authentic Berbere & All Natural East African Seasoning | Naturally Craft | No Preservatives | Made and Imported from Ethiopia | (8oz)

This stuff is marvelous! Don't be afraid to use it liberally. It is spicy, but more of a slow roll than an in your face kind of hot, and you keep wanting a bit more. Wonderfully and unusually savory. Finally got my other half to eat collard greens and okra by making a chicken stew with this spice mix.

Brundo Berbere Chili Blend has a unique flavor profile that is BOLD! The spice blend comes as a fine powder, and a little goes a long way, I've bought this a few times now and haven't bothered trying any other berbere brand.IMHO this spice will enhance the flavor profile of your dish (used it with beef, chicken dishes, veggies like lentil stews and dips etc.) This does have a little heat to it, but if used right, it will kick up the flavor experience of your dish. Used it this past Superbowl to enhance the flavor of one of our dips, and of the 4 dips we had on the table, the one with the berbere won out.Product has "no artificial additives or preservatives—just pure, traditional Ethiopian spices." I'm not a chef or an expert on Ethiopian cuisine, but I know what I like. Brundo Berbere Chili Blend is a winner!

Berbere varies a bit from different localities. This is one of a number of authentic blends, very pleasant, not killer hot. If you want more heat add some red pepper.I've had some American knockoffs that just didn't cut it and tasted awful. This stuff might not be hot enough for you, or too hot, or not sweet enough, etc, but the base flavor is there. I like it and will always keep some on hand for Ethiopian stews. I like to smoke it in a dry cast iron pan just a little before adding other stuff, also sprinkle or rub (dry) on the stew meat while it's resting prior to cooking.

We ran out of berbere (Ethiopian spice blend) and ordered this as a replacement when we couldn’t find the blend we used before. This was exactly what we wanted.

Lovedddddd it , so delicious

The flavor is very good, but in the chili department it seems to have been blanded down for American tastes. It needs to be hotter. The same is true of their mitmita, which is much too mild. Perhaps Brundo could offer a 2 oz bottle or an 8 oz bag of African bird chilis for people who want to make their Ethiopian dishes even hotter. I just added some jalapeños to the sega wot I made today with this berbere, and when I do tere sega again with their mitmita I will make some stuffed jalapeños to go with it.

It’s perfect in flavor not too spicy or bland

My family loves Ethiopian cuisine, and we get to our local restaurant as often as possible. It’s a fabulous place but a bit of a drive. I thought I’d try my hand at tibs - my fave and it didn’t sound impossible but I needed help with the seasoning. I’ve experimented a little and this is by far my favorite blend of berbere. A little heat and a lot of flavor - a small amount goes a long way. Using this plus niter kibbeh (also from Brundo, highly recommend!) gave me tibs similar to what I’ve eaten in restaurants. I’ve since bought some other blends from Brundo and have yet to find one we don’t love.
