this limited ramadan box bundle brings together the spices most often used in preparing the foods we take our first bites of to break our fasts, when the soup is ready and the table begins to fill with other dishes. ground spices are essential here. they release their aroma immediately, folding easily into batters, fillings, and broths without requiring long cooking or blooming.
together, these spices support the familiar and anticipated appetizers of ramadan evenings, like crispy fried falafel, hot lentil soup, samboosak passed around, salads dressed and finished just before serving. they’re comforting and rooted in how jordanian homes cook and serve at maghrib (sunset), when we break our fasts. this set is offered at more than 50% off as a way to make those everyday ramadan meals easier to return to night after night.
the bundle includes:
one 2.5oz jar of falafel spice: a balanced blend made for chickpeas, herbs, and onions, but just as useful in soups, vegetable sautés, and fillings. it brings structure and warmth to fast-cooked dishes without overpowering them.
one 2.5oz jar of aleppo salt: a mild chili flake blended with salt, used to finish soups, season salads, and balance fried foods at the table. it adds heat and brightness without sharpness.
one 2.5oz jar of ground coriander: soft, citrusy, and supportive rather than dominant. ground coriander rounds out soups, legumes, and fried foods, adding warmth that feels gentle after a long fast.
one 2.5oz jar of ground cumin: earthy and familiar, ground cumin is used directly in falafel mixtures, lentil soup, and savory fillings. ground for immediacy, it disperses evenly and delivers flavor without needing time.
when maghrib comes in, it's important that there's food ready at the table.

we source all of our spices from jordan and india. we’re committed to using spices that are grown in their native lands to best preserve their true flavors that are dependent on the soil and climates they’re grown in.
how are your spices processed?
we get our spices raw and whole. we then roast, grind, and mix them in-house, so you don’t get a spice mix that has been sitting in a warehouse and then on a shelf for months before it gets to your kitchen.
how do i store spices?
our spice jars are pretty airtight and meant for retaining freshness. we would recommend keeping the jars in your pantry and away from direct sunlight to preserve shelf life.
how long are spices good for?
when spices “expire”, thankfully, there isn’t a health risk if they’re consumed. spices expiring means they have lost their flavor and potency. it’s said that spice blends can retain most of their flavor for up to 2 years, but for maximum freshness and potency, we recommend consuming our ground spices within six months.
