South African spices, the full rack in one place

South African cooking is not defined by rare ingredients, it is defined by specific bottles. Aromat on eggs and chips. Robertson's Steak and Chop on anything going near a fire. Rajah in the curry pot. Osman's masala for a proper Durban curry. Swap any of them for a Canadian equivalent and the dish is close but wrong, which is why people keep asking family to post them over. This page carries sixty of them, all brought over in their own bottles.

South African seasoning, brand by brand

Robertson's is the everyday range: Steak and Chop, Barbecue, Chicken, Portuguese Chicken, Spice for Rice, Spice for Mince, mixed herbs. Knorr Aromat is the yellow one that goes on everything and the cheese version that goes on the rest. Ina Paarman covers the chef end with Garlic and Herb, Garlic and Pepper, Braai and Grill and Lemon and Rosemary. Funky Ouma and Oryx bring the artisan salts, and Flippen Lekka is the multi-seasoning that ends up in every second braai kit.

Braai spice and what goes on the fire

Braai seasoning is its own category in South Africa and it deserves its own page, which it has. Six Gun Grill, Robertson's Barbecue and the Funky Ouma braai and chilli salts are the ones that go out to the fire with the meat. If you are buying for a braai rather than a kitchen, start there and come back here for the cooking spices.

 South African Braai Spices

Seasoning for the fire and the pot

A braai spice rubbed into steak or chops before it goes on the fire, and a stronger blend stirred into a potjie that has hours to cook down, use the seasoning differently even when the bottle is the same. If you are setting up for a full braai day, the potjie pots and braai tools live on their own page, worth stocking alongside the spice rack.

Frequently asked questions

WHAT SOUTH AFRICAN SPICE BRANDS DO YOU STOCK?

Robertson's Steak and Chop, Barbecue and Spice for Mince, Knorr Aromat, Ina Paarman's Garlic and Herb and Braai and Grill, plus Rajah curry powder and Osman's masala. All brought over from South Africa rather than a Canadian substitute.
WHAT IS AROMAT USED FOR?

Aromat is an all-purpose savoury seasoning, sprinkled on eggs, chips, meat and vegetables rather than reserved for one dish. The cheese version does the same job with a stronger, saltier edge.
DO YOU SHIP SPICES AND SEASONING ACROSS CANADA?

Yes, everywhere in Canada. Bottles and packets ship well together, so most people stock up on a few at once rather than reordering one at a time.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROBERTSON'S SPICES AND RAJAH CURRY POWDER?

Robertson's is the everyday savoury range for meat, rice and mince. Rajah is specifically curry powder, running mild through hot, for an actual curry rather than general seasoning. Osman's masala sits alongside Rajah for a stronger Durban-style curry.
