Organic African lentil spice | spice blend

What is it about / Product description

Organic African Lentil Seasoning is an aromatic organic spice preparation from Biova for lentils, beans and chickpeas. The colourful blend combines warm, spicy notes with fruity accents of beetroot and orange peel as well as a fine sweetness from dates. The intensely coloured powder adds colour and depth to vegetarian and vegan dishes.

The combination of cumin, paprika, tomato, onion and garlic creates a harmonious basic seasoning, freshly rounded off by herbs such as peppermint, coriander leaves and parsley. Chili, Rechi chili and cayenne provide a pleasantly spicy heat without overpowering the dish. Carefully selected organic ingredients and gentle processing at Biova make the spice blend easy to dose and reliably flavourful.

Use the Organic African Lentil Seasoning in the classic way for lentil soup, lentil dal or lentil salad and refine African-inspired stews and pan dishes with it. Bean and chickpea dishes also gain more depth and aroma in no time. For creative cooking, the Biova spice preparation can also be used in dressings or marinades.

Origin

The spice preparation is produced in Germany in accordance with strict Biova quality standards. The raw spices and herbs used come from controlled organic cultivation in selected growing regions. Production in Germany ensures consistent quality and careful control of the recipe.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

Individual components such as cumin, paprika, coriander and chili are organically grown and gently harvested in their countries of origin. After drying, they are ground into granules and powders and then precisely blended in Germany. This gives every unit of the spice mix an identical flavour profile.

Special features

Characteristic is the combination of savoury spice, fruitiness and a light sweetness in an African-inspired recipe. Beetroot powder, date powder and orange peel provide special depth, while herbs and chili add freshness and heat. Compared to simple lentil seasonings, the Biova blend offers a more complex aroma profile for creative vegetarian and vegan cuisine.

Differences in origin and processing

In contrast to many conventional spice blends, this organic variant relies on certified organic raw materials and does not use additives such as flavour enhancers or anti-caking agents. Gentle processing and filling in Germany ensure short transport routes and the best possible preservation of the natural aromas.

Taste & Aroma

On the nose, the blend is warm and spicy with distinct notes of cumin, paprika and tomato, accompanied by a light herbal freshness. On the palate, fruity nuances of beetroot and orange unfold, along with a subtle sweetness from dates and a pleasant medium heat from chili and cayenne. The overall impression is round and well-balanced, without any single spice dominating.
