We developed this husky, pungent seasoning blend based on hawaij, a Yemeni blend primarily composed of cumin, black pepper and cardamom, with salt and a touch of sugar to balance the fragrant spices. The bold flavor is at its best on rich meats, like lamb, beef or salmon. We also dust it over roasted carrots, cauliflower and sweet potatoes or use it to creamy pumpkin or cauliflower soup. Sprinkle over store-bought hummus or add a spoonful to your next batch of baba ghanoush.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.

These salt blends aren't just for use as-is, they are also great as a balanced starting point for your own custom seasoning. Play up a certain spice or add something new-- let your creativity run wild!
