SOMALI XAWAASH

Xawaash (pronounced HA-wash) is a unique spice blend that originates from Somalia, known for its vibrant and aromatic flavors. It is an essential component of Somali cuisine and is used to add depth and complexity to various dishes. Xawaash is typically used in a wide range of Somali dishes, including stews, rice dishes, grilled meats, and even in some desserts. It adds a distinct and aromatic flavor profile, making Somali cuisine stand out with its unique blend of spices. Somalia’s location on the Horn of Africa has played a major role in connecting East Africa to India, the Middle East, South East Asia, and neighboring African countries through the Indian Ocean trade route for hundreds of years. The blend's diverse heritage underscores the rich history of trade and cultural interactions in the region, resulting in a savory and wonderfully aromatic spice mix.

Excellent Blend - Great for pasta, as recommended!

We purchased a bottle of xawaash from Abwori at a little Saturday market and are very pleased. It's an excellent blend, and the portion is huge! It will definitely be a staple in the spice rack, better than anything you could get at the grocery store. We made Suugo Suqaar (with the recipe she gave us when we bought it) and it was amazing. A little bit of sweet, a lot of savory. Came to the site to buy some more to send off as presents!
