Terre Exotique Barberry 500g Ingredients

Terre Exotique’s barberries are sweet and sour with an acidic tang – a popular ingredient in Persian cooking. The small dried round fruits are similar to dried cranberries, and with a high pectin content, they are a popular choice to use when making jams and jellies. 

Barberries are widely available where they grow in the highlands – the same area as saffron, and the two are often paired together in dishes. Try using both ingredients to make zereshk polow, a traditional rice dish with spices, nuts and citrus peel. Barberries are also wonderful in semolina cakes and crumbles.

Before using these berries, rinse them then lightly fry in butter.

This 500g bag is ideal for catering and professional kitchens – the barberries come in opaque packaging, protecting them from light and preserving the fresh flavour, while the flat base makes it easy to store.

About Terre Exotique

Terre Exotique works directly with hundreds of specialist farmers and producers around the world – to bring the very best peppers, spices and salts to our tables. The company was founded by Erwann de Kerros, a Breton and seasoned traveller. After tasting pepper in the Penja plantation in Cameroon, Kerros yearned to try other specialist peppers and spices – and Terre Exotique was born.

The company works closely with farmers to preserve natural habitats, and to ensure a sustainable income for local communities. Each spice is carefully packed in pouches – the opaque packaging preserves the flavours and aroma of your spice, by protecting them from sunlight. So the ingredients stay at their best for longer.
