Suya Spice (Yaji) Nigerian Grill Seasoning

Suya Spice brings the smoky, peppery magic of Nigeria's favourite street-side grill straight to your kitchen.

What it is: Also known as "yaji," this is a dry spice blend built on roasted ground peanuts, ground ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper and other warm spices, the same mix used by suya sellers across Nigeria.

Why customers love it: Fans love its bold combination of nutty, spicy and savoury notes, which turns simple grilled meat, chicken or vegetables into something unmistakably Nigerian in just one coating.

How to use it: Rub generously over beef, chicken, fish, tofu or vegetables before grilling, roasting or pan-searing. Also excellent sprinkled over roasted plantain, popcorn or boiled eggs for an extra kick.

A taste of home: Suya is a beloved after-dark street food across Nigerian cities, sold by "mai suya" vendors from smoky roadside grills. This blend recreates that same signature seasoning for cooking anywhere in the world.

Storage: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight to preserve its aroma and potency.
