Due to its Popularity, Suya Spice has become almost a Staple in most homes. Suya spice can be added to almost anything to give that Dish a Delicious Twist. A little word of warning! PLEASE Suya Spice is Peanut Based; therefore itβs not suitable for people with Peanut Allergies.

The Peanut Flavour of Suya comes in the form of a Fried Ground Peanut Paste known popularly as βKuli Kuliβ. When Crushed, the kuli kuli or Peanut Sticks Turns into a Smooth Powder or Peanut Flour.
