# Suya Yaji Spice

Suya Yaji Spice is a spicy, MSG-free seasoning blend. It is also called yaji spice, yaji seasoning, suya seasoning, or suya spice.

The name of this blend is a composite of its components. Suya is a beef kabob, one of Nigeria’s most popular street foods. Yaji is the dry peanut-based spice rub used to season beef before grilling. 

This spice blend is found in many varieties across central Africa, from Ghana and Nigeria to Sudan. Its complex flavor reflects the preferences of regions and individual chefs, but the basic ingredients of peanuts, chile pepper, salt, pepper, and paprika stay remarkably consistent. 

Suya Yaji is often sought after by: 

- marinade, snack, popcorn, meal kit, sauce, coffee and tea, and condiment manufacturers; - bar & grill, BBQ, and fusion-style restaurants; - seasoning companies; - independent spice shops; and - gourmet markets 

## Flavor ProfileSuya Yaji is nutty, spicy, and smoky, with onion and garlic undertones.
