New York Shuk Hawaij Spice, 50g
Hawaij is a bold, aromatic spice blend with a striking golden color and unmistakable fragrance. Originating in Yemen and beloved throughout Israeli cuisine, this earthy seasoning is known for its depth and warmth. Often compared to masala, hawaij is best thought of as its Middle Eastern cousin, offering similarly layered flavor with a regional twist.
Many consider this spice to be add a freshness and unique flair to recipes. Choose Hawaij when you want to add warmth, depth, and golden color to savory dishes. Hawaij is a warm, earthy spice blend made with turmeric, cumin, black peppercorns, cardamom, coriander, and clove. Gently peppery and deeply aromatic, it’s often described as curry-like thanks to its turmeric base and layered spice profile.
Traditionally used in soups, stews, and other slow-simmered dishes, Hawaij infuses pots with its intoxicating aroma and signature golden color. But its versatility doesn’t stop there—this all-purpose blend shines as a dry rub or marinade for meats and fish, and adds depth and warmth to vegetable dishes as well. This spice is vegan, sugar free and kosher certified.
Hawaij and Kafe Hawaij are both traditional Yemeni spice blends with shared roots, but they serve very different culinary purposes. Hawaij is a savory blend with a warm, earthy, and slightly peppery flavor that is ideal for soups, stews, slow simmered dishes, and marinades. In contrast, Kafe Hawaij is the “sweet” version of the spice and is traditionally stirred into coffee. While Hawaij enhances savory dishes with its depth and fragrance, Kafe Hawaij excels in beverages, baked goods, and desserts but can also be used creatively in both sweet and savory recipes.
