The spice blend Ras el Hanout is a spice treasure from the Orient. Our Ras el Hanout coconut spice oil carries the taste of Arabian Nights and the fine, typical aroma of coconut - for an oriental taste experience.
Ras el Hanout translates to "head of the shop". It is a traditional North African spice mix that originated in the Maghreb states. The name is said to go back to a secret recipe of spices that the owner of a spice shop made for himself and did not share.
The spice blend contains a number of intense yet perfectly balanced spices. Depending on the recipe, it consists of up to 25 different spices. Many of them are rather rare in Europe: Cinnamon sticks, anise, allspice, bay leaves, turmeric, nutmeg, chili peppers, white pepper, caraway, cloves, lavender and cardamom pods are common ingredients for the spice mix. What stands out is that Ras el Hanout combines very different flavours, sweet, pungent, spicy and bitter.
Based on valuable coconut oil
Our coconut spice oils are produced on the basis of our organic virgin coconut oil. It is made from fully ripe, organically grown coconuts which are mechanically pressed and gently bottled. Naturally, the oil is not bleached, deordorised or refined which leads to a fine coconut flavour and preserves the valuable ingredients.
Coconuts are rich in proteins, carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Coconut oil contains medium chained triglycerides (MCT) such as lauric acid, which makes up almost half of the fatty acids in the oil. Combined with diverse cooking, organic coconut oil can contribute to a healthy diet.
As coconut oil does not contain essential, polyunsaturated fatty acids, it is important to complement it with different sorts of oil. Especially our vital oils like our mill-fresh flaxseed oil or our omega DHA oils supply the body with valuable essential omega-3 fatty acids like alpha-linolenic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. We offer a large variety of organic edible oils for a healthy, wholesome diet.
Usage
Our Ras el Hanout coconut spice oil is perfect for couscous, meat dishes, rice pans, dishes with chickpeas and all oriental dishes. It adds an aromatic oriental aroma to stews, millet and dips.
Tip: A tajine creates an authentic oriental cooking experience. Simply add vegetables and our Ras El Hanout coconut spice oil and leave it to cook on the stovetop or the oven. Sweet-fruity and intensely spicy at the same time.
