Brundo Spice Company Ethiopian Korerima | Authentic Ethiopian Black Cardamom | Hand-Picked & Naturally Processed | 2.5oz

Meet Brundo Ethiopian Korerima

Brundo Market presents Ethiopian Korerima, a celebrated form of black cardamom that arrives as a single-ingredient spice with a storied aroma and versatile character. Each lot is hand-picked and open-fire roasted, a traditional technique that draws out a bright, minty edge while allowing smoky, earthy depths and delicate floral hints to linger in the air. Packaged in a convenient 2.5oz jar, this spice is ready to fold into your cooking, whether you’re simmering a hearty stew or finishing a roasted vegetable medley.

Imported from Ethiopia and processed with care at our Modjo facility, the Korerima is natural, non-GMO, and free of added preservatives. Our approach centers on ingredients you can trust, with a focus on purity and transparency from harvest to table. Brundo Market is a women-founded, women-powered company, and we’re proud that roughly 85% of the team at our processing plant are women who grow, harvest, and refine these spices. This cultural heritage informs the aroma, texture, and flavor you’ll notice in every pinch.

Flavor profile and everyday uses

With a minty brightness threaded through smoky, earthy, and floral notes, Korerima adds character without overpowering a dish. Its versatile personality works across cuisines: it can lift a hearty Ethiopian stew, brighten a rice pilaf, or add depth to a roasted vegetable medley. Start by grinding a small amount to wake sauces or rubs, then adjust to taste as you simmer, sauté, or roast. The result is a warm, aromatic accent that can transform simple ingredients into memorable meals.
