Shawarma Spice – The Hot and Spicy Flavor of the Middle East | Mama Ram

Shawarma Spice is a complex spice blend carefully prepared to capture the unique aromatic profile of shawarma, one of the indispensable street flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine.

Warm, sweet spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves and allspice are balanced with earthy, sharp flavors like cumin, black pepper and fenugreek. Sumac and lemon salt add a tart, refreshing dimension to the mix. Hithit (asafoetida) adds depth with its garlic-like flavor.
