Buy Ethiopia Birds Eye Berbere Directly From Exporters & Suppliers - Best of 2024 Market Prices

We source Ethiopia bird’s eye berbere from different parts of the country including Tigray to the north. Locals usually hang the picked oval-shaped little pods in the shade or open sun so that they can be ready for grinding into berbere powder. A box of the fruit that weighs 10 pounds or 4.5 kilos can cost anywhere between $3 and $20 in global markets in different seasons.

We harvest Ethiopia berbere in the early part of the day in order to help dry the crop for processing. Our family growers usually notify us of the maturity of their crops around 65 or up to 80 days after transplantation. They can continue picking the maturing pods for 12 weeks intermittently. We use custom baskets for picking fruits that have reached 2 to 3 centimeters long. They will also have changed their shape to a firm conical appearance.

Soon after the picking is over, we cart away the spices to an open tank for cleaning and rinsing. We also use purification agents to kill contaminants using chlorinated water. We then sort any ripened pod from the rest before packing the best.

We loose pack Ethiopia bird’s eye berbere in produce boxes. Each comes with a 4.5 kilogram capacity. It also consists of plastic linings to reduce further dehydration on transit. Every box consists of single fully packed pods that are still greenish red. We also provide dried bird’s eye chilis that we grind first after drying. We pack them in transparent packets that show the powdery content.
