The soul of suya
Yaji is the smoky, nutty spice that makes suya unforgettable — and Winnie's brings that roadside-grill magic to your own kitchen. Nutty groundnut, fiery ginger, garlic and chili come together in a bold, savoury rub that transforms anything off the grill.
Sprinkle it, rub it, dip into it — from suya to weekend barbecue, it earns its place at the fire.
Perfect for: suya · barbecue · grilled fish, beef, chicken, turkey & goat meat
How to use: Use one or two tablespoons — rub it on before grilling, dust again to finish, or serve as a dip. Can be eaten as is; adjust to taste.
