Shawarma Spice Mix Description:
Bring the vibrant flavors of the Middle East to your kitchen with our authentic Shawarma Spice Mix. Shawarma, traditionally a thinly sliced meat (chicken, lamb, or beef) served in warm flatbread with fresh vegetables and tangy pickles, is the heart of this flavorful blend. Our mix combines savory spices like cumin, coriander, and paprika with warm notes of cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg, and a touch of citrus from sumac. It's the perfect balance for creating delicious, restaurant-quality shawarma at home.
