Ethiopian & Eritrean cuisine is vibrant, rich, and rooted in tradition, but finding authentic ingredients in the U.S. can be a challenge for Habesha food lovers and those interested in exploring East African cooking. Thankfully, S&S Habesha Market has just opened its doors in Snellville, GA, providing the essentials you need to bring Habesha flavors to your kitchen.
One of the must-haves is injera, a soft, spongy flatbread made from teff flour. Injera serves as the base of most Ethiopian meals, used both as a plate and a utensil for scooping up delicious stews like doro wat (spicy chicken stew) and misir wat (lentil stew). Fresh injera has a slightly tangy flavor, adding depth to any dish it accompanies, and it’s now available locally at S&S Habesha Market.
Coffee lovers will also rejoice at the opportunity to purchase authentic Ethiopian coffee beans, grown in the highlands of Ethiopia where coffee was first discovered. Known for its smooth, rich taste and unique aroma, Ethiopian coffee is a key part of the country’s social traditions, often prepared in a special coffee ceremony. Bringing Ethiopian coffee into your home is not only a culinary experience but also a cultural one.
In addition to injera and coffee beans, S&S Habesha Market offers staples like teff flour, shiro (seasoned chickpea powder), and popular Ethiopian spice blends such as berbere and mitmita. We invite you to visit us at 1982 Main Street in Snellville, GA, to experience a true taste of Ethiopia and stock up on these authentic ingredients!
