Flavour Starts Here with Middle Eastern Spices
Middle Eastern cooking begins with spice—bold, earthy, citrusy, smoky. At Harkola, we supply the essential ingredients that give each dish its unforgettable soul. Be that the best Spices for falafel and shawarma!
Sumac – A Sour Twist of History
Deep red and tangy, Sumac brings brightness to salads, Sumac is great on grilled meats, and Sumac is amzing on rice. It’s been used since ancient times, long before lemons hit the scene. Thats why you need Sumac in your pantry.
Za’atar – The Blend That Does It All
Not just a spice, Za’atar is a mix of thyme, sesame seeds, Sumac, and salt. Ours comes from Salloum, a trusted brand known for authentic Lebanese flavour. Together Za’atar and Sumac are kings when it comes to Lebanese Cooking.
Cumin – Warm, Deep, and Essential Middle Eastern Spices
No falafel, shawarma, or lentil dish is complete without Cumin. It’s earthy, aromatic, and forms the backbone of many spice mixes across the region.
Cinnamon – Sweet and Savoury Harmony of Middle Eastern Spices
Often paired with lamb, rice, and desserts, Cinnamon adds warmth to both sweet and savoury meals. Think baklava, kibbeh, or spiced stews.
Turmeric – Colour and Cure of Middle Eastern Spices
Golden and grounding, Turmeric gives colour and depth to soups, rice, and sauces. Plus, it’s celebrated for its health benefits across cultures.
Chilli and Isot Pepper – Turn Up the Heat a key to Middle Eastern Spices
Want a kick? Add Isot Pepper or Middle Eastern chilli flakes. Isot is smoky and mild, while regular chilli brings that familiar burn. Perfect for kebabs or dips.
Coriander and Allspice – Quiet Achievers
These unsung heroes show up in everything from kofta to kibbeh. Allspice offers clove-like warmth, while Coriander adds citrus and sweetness.
Rose Petals, Mahlab & Magic
Some of our rarer spices—like dried rose petals or mahlab (cherry seed spice)—are used in pastries, spice blends, and even cheese-making.
