My absolute favorite blend, I use it on everything! Try it on your morning eggs or late night popcorn!
This has become a pantry staple. Particularly good for making a savory porridge. Oatmeal using beef broth (Better Than Bullion) with a dash of Worcestershire sauce, a dash of soy sauce, and the Ras El Hanout.
Love it on a savory porridge. Oatmeal made with beef broth (better than bullion), a dash of soy sauce, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, and a good dose Ras El Harnout.
Lovely free sample! Perfect for dips and sauces!
Happy coincidence that I found a soup to use this in right after my sample arrived. Wonderful flavor. Must get more.
Ras al Hanout had become a staple in my kitchen. So good on roasted sweet potatoes!
Love it!
One of my favorite spice blends that absolutely elevates any Moroccan dish to a new level. This blend from World Spice is a winner!

I love this spice blend and am addicted. I use it at least once a week!
So delicious! Made a roasted pork loin with some and it was amazing!! Warm spice flavor…paired with my signature mustard mash potatoes and corn-creamed swiss chard.
Different but good
Unmatched freshness of all your spices! Thank you for your commitment to superb quality always!
Perfect for my moroccan spice chicken on a cold and stormy night
The best Ras El Hanout available in my opinion. The Kale and Pomegranate salad recipe on the website has been one of the stars on my holiday table for years.
Been a lover of the world spice Ras El hanout for a long time!
World Spice's Ras El-Hanout is just about my favorite spice blend- perfect for everything from grilled lamb to roasted Japanese sweet potatoes. It is way better than so many other Ras El-Hanout blends- just the right combo of warm spice and floral flavors. Love it.

Fabulous in chili! I let the kids help choose seasonings for a pot of chili, and after sniffing everything I had, this is what they went with. Y'all, it is incredible. Subtle, even mild heat, lovely floral notes, complex background flavor. This is going to be a repeat. Make sure you have a grinder though, some of the ingredients are pretty chunky.
You should get this! Makes the best shashouka flavor!
Versatile and Delicious Ras El Hanout is my go to spice for roasted sweet potatoes and any kind of hearty root vegetable. Complex and delightful.
We either grow our own herbs or buy them from world spice. The uncompromising quality and fresh flavors from around the globe keep us coming back. Thank you, keep it up! We order all of our rubs and a few other dry spices whenever we run out.
A permanent spot in my spice draw. An absolute must for North African Tagines. Work’s fantastic with Lamb, chicken, game birds or vegetables. The best Ras el Hanout blend I have tasted.
Fantastic! I recently got married and one of our cakes featured Ras El Hanout. We did a Ras El Hanout sponge, topped with a tamarind buttercream. Ras is one of my favorite ways to incorporate savory baking into my life. One of my regular meals are Ras El Hanout Pancakes with pecans and blueberries. I couldn't imagine life without it!
