Niter Kibbeh

Niter Kibbeh is a spiced clarified butter traditionally used in Ethiopian and Eritrean cooking to flavor stews, legumes and vegetables; it is prized for its fragrant blend of warm spices infused into butterfat. In terms of nutrition it is almost entirely fat, providing about 99.5g of fat per 100 g, and delivers fat-soluble vitamin A along with a mix of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids from the butter and added spices. Because it is energy-dense and rich in saturated fat, it’s typically used in small amounts as a flavoring rather than a primary cooking fat; the added spices contribute minor antioxidant compounds but don’t offset its high fat content.
