Origin
There are many different Advieh blends suited to different dishes and recipes. Common in Persian and Mesopotamian cuisine, in today’s geographical terms this blend originates from the regions of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey. Herodotus, the Greek historian, was seduced by ancient Persian spices. Known as Advieh, pronounced (/æd-v/) it loosely translates from Farsi to mean “spice mixture.”
Taste
Our key ingredient- Fenugreek leaves (often know as methi in Asian subcontinent cuisine) – can typically be eaten as a vegetable or dried and used as a herb. In our case, the herb has a smoky, earthly, subtle sweet maple flavour. Paired with cloves, black pepper and cumin compliments this blend, enhancing the flavour profiles.
Scent
Smoky but fruity and with a nutty aroma.
How to use
If you love soup but you sometimes feel like it is missing some depth, then this is the blend for you. Soup is great for lunch ideas or even as a healthy snack. It is your very own secret ingredient to add during cooking or to sprinkle over just before serving. In addition to soups, it is the perfect finish to many bone broth concoctions. Just a few pinches, will add a whole new dimension to a simple tomato, leek and potato or chicken soup and poultry broths. It will also go particularly well with a lentil or squash-based soup. Great for batch cooking and freezing, making it quick and easy for a lunch on the go.

Some of our blends will be gluten free, but it is important to note that some spices and herbs naturally contain gluten.
It is also important to note that these have been packaged in a facility that handles, stores, and processes tree nuts and celery. This product may contain traces of celery, gluten, mustard, sesame, soy and nuts.
Storage
Always store in a dry place. A pantry, press or cupboard will suffice. We have made that easy by housing our blends in dark amber mason jars under an aluminium lid. Aluminium reflects both heat and light, making it the perfect material for food preservation under its closing. Spice and herb blends typically have a use by date, in our case, 24 months from manufacture.
