No great dish is complete without a touch of spice. At Bath & Co, we believe that spices are the heart and soul of global cuisine, adding complexity, color, and aroma to your cooking. Whether you’re preparing a cozy Kenyan stew or exploring a new international recipe, the right blend of spices can transform your dish.

🌶️ Why Spices Matter

Spices do more than add heat or flavor — they bring culture, history, and even health benefits. A well-stocked spice rack can unlock countless recipes and inspire creativity every day.

🛍️ Our Top 5 Must-Have Spices

1. Cumin (Jeera)

Used across African, Indian, and Middle Eastern dishes, cumin brings an earthy depth to beans, stews, and meat marinades. A sprinkle of ground cumin instantly enhances githeri or nyama choma.

2. Turmeric

Known for its anti-inflammatory properties and brilliant yellow hue, turmeric is a staple in curries and health drinks. It pairs beautifully with ginger and garlic for immune-boosting meals.

3. Paprika

Mildly spicy and smoky, paprika is great for grilling. Add it to roasted potatoes, eggs, or even nyama sausages for that extra kick.

4. Sumac

Tangy and citrusy, sumac is an underrated Middle Eastern spice that works wonders in salad dressings and grilled meats. It offers an acidic edge without using lemon juice.

5. Za’atar

A flavorful blend of thyme, oregano, sesame seeds, and salt. Spread it over flatbread with olive oil or use it as a dry rub for chicken or fish.

🥄 Bonus Spice: Cinnamon

Don’t forget the sweet side of spices. Cinnamon adds warmth to desserts, teas, and even rice dishes. It’s perfect for cozy rainy days.
