Berbere Spices Market - Key Trends and Drivers
Berbere is a vibrant spice blend hailing from the culinary traditions of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Central to the cuisines of these regions, berbere consists of a complex mix of chili peppers, garlic, ginger, dried basil, korarima, rue, white and black pepper, and fenugreek. However, the composition can vary significantly between different households and spice merchants, with some mixes including additional spices like nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon for added depth. This richly aromatic and fiery blend is not only used to flavor many traditional dishes, including stews, meats, and lentils, but also serves as a condiment or a rub. Berbere is synonymous with the flavor profile of Ethiopian cuisine and is integral to signature dishes such as Doro Wat, a spicy chicken stew.The usage of berbere has transcended local boundaries and has found a place in global culinary practices, mirroring the expanding influence of Ethiopian cuisine worldwide.
