Best Suya spice for home cooking
What Suya spice is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
Groundnut, chile, and ginger — the dust that makes West African grilled meat taste like the street.
In West African cooking, Suya spice is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.
Taste Suya spice before you empty the spoon. Fresh jars smell like themselves; tired ones smell like dust. Buy the smallest amount you will finish.
