Shawarma

When comparing Rumi’s shawarma blend to “traditional” shawarma blends, the unique combination of spices and the inclusion of Rumi's wild cumin set it apart. The wild black cumin is foraged from the natural landscapes of Afghanistan, providing a distinct and robust flavor that is unmatched. Traditional shawarma blends lack this unique ingredient and the depth of flavor that comes from our ethically sourced spices.

The spices in our shawarma blend are sourced from various regions, with a significant emphasis on our Afghan-sourced wild black cumin. These spices are grown and harvested in their natural habitats, ensuring the highest quality and flavor. Our direct sourcing from Afghan farmers and foragers supports sustainable agriculture and provides fair wages for local communities.

Our shawarma spice blend offers a warm and savory flavor profile with a robust earthiness. The blend of sweet paprika, allspice, turmeric, cumin, garlic, cassia cinnamon, onion, and ginger creates a harmonious and aromatic touch of spices that elevate any dish. The inclusion of Rumi wild black cumin adds a distinct and unique taste.
