Why Choose New Age Uziza Ground?
New Age ensures that the volatile oils of the Uziza seed are preserved during the milling process, so you get maximum aroma and heat in every spoonful. Our 80g Uziza Ground is the perfect size for both frequent cooks and those wanting to experiment with authentic African spices. It brings the rich, peppery heritage of the forest directly to your modern kitchen shelf.
Chef's Tip: Uziza is quite potent! Start with 1/4 to 1/2 a teaspoon and taste as you go. Its flavor deepens as it simmers, so a small amount often goes a long way in transforming the entire dish.
