Spices are the soul of cooking. A small spoonful at the right moment turns an ordinary meal into an unforgettable experience.
Freshness first
Spices lose their flavour over time. Buy reasonable amounts you'll use within a few months, and store them in airtight containers away from heat and light.
Blends worth trying
Seven-spice blend for rice and meats, cumin for soups, and cinnamon for desserts and warm drinks. Try adding a pinch of cardamom to your coffee for an authentic experience.
A chef's tip
Add ground spices near the end of cooking to preserve their aromatic oils, while whole spices are added early so they release their flavour slowly.
Al-Agha spices are freshly ground and carefully packed so they reach you at full strength.
