Baharat Spice
Fox’s Spices Baharat 550g is a warm, aromatic Middle Eastern spice blend designed to bring depth, balance and gentle warmth to savoury dishes. Typically made from a combination of spices such as paprika, black pepper, cumin, coriander, cinnamon and cloves, baharat offers a rounded flavour that is both earthy and slightly sweet, with a subtle heat that builds rather than dominates.
This versatile spice blend is widely used across Middle Eastern cooking, where it forms the foundation of many traditional dishes. It works particularly well with slow-cooked meats, roasted vegetables and rice-based dishes, adding complexity without overpowering the natural ingredients. The fine texture allows it to blend easily into marinades, rubs and sauces, making it a reliable way to build flavour from the very start of cooking.
Whether stirred into stews, used to season minced meat or sprinkled over vegetables before roasting, baharat is a simple way to introduce authentic Middle Eastern flavour into everyday meals.
