Berbere
Berbere is a spice mixture made up of chili peppers, coriander, garlic, ginger, Ethiopian holy basil (besobela) seeds, korarima, rue, ajwain or radhuni, nigella, and fenugreek.[1][2][3][4][5] It is a major ingredient in food from Ethiopia and Eritrea. Berbere also means chili pepper itself.[1]
Berbere may have herbs and spices that are less well known internationally. These include both grown plants and those that grow wild in Ethiopia, such as korarima (Aframomum corrorima).[6]
