Spicy African roots

Four roots, one spoon

Tangawizi, kitunguu saumu, manjano and ndimu. Ginger, garlic, turmeric and lemon are the start of almost every Kenyan dish. We source them from [SOURCING REGION] and crush them fresh, so the flavour in the jar is the flavour from the farm.

No peeling, no grating, no stained chopping boards. Just open the jar, sealed with our lime green tape, and cook.
