Ird | Wild Turmeric

እርድ

Balè Moya's Ird (Ethiopian Turmeric) is characterized by poignant tones that are a staple in Eastern African cooking.

The pungent and earthy-bitter root has a distinct flavor that is commonly used to enrich alicha recipes and other mild stews and sauces.

Fun Fact: This naturally occurring "food dye" is responsible for the yellow-orange appearance of most Ethiopian dishes.
