Mitmita isn’t just a spice blend—it’s a gateway to the rich flavors of Ethiopian cuisine. If you love bold and adventurous cooking, Mitmita offers a unique taste. One that goes beyond the ordinary.
A Cultural Journey
Mitmita is a fiery blend of African bird’s eye chilli, cardamom, cloves and other spices. It is a staple in Ethiopian cuisine. It’s been used for centuries to add heat and balance flavour to traditional Ethiopian dishes such as ‘Doro Wat’ and ‘Kitfo’. Unlike other chilli-based spice blends, Mitmita is uniquely Ethiopian. It has its roots in the highlands where the bird’s eye chilli grows. It’s more than a seasoning—it’s a part of Ethiopian culture that connects generations through food.
The Hidden Benefits
Mitmita is known for its intense heat, but it also has health benefits. The bird’s eye chilli in Mitmita contains capsaicin. Capsaicin can boost metabolism, help with weight loss and reduce inflammation. Cardamom helps digestion and fights bad breath, while cloves are rich in antioxidants.
