Description
The BLACKBOX ON FIRE combines six characteristic spices from Sri Lanka into a versatile barbecue set.

Each spice stays separately packaged, so you decide the flavour and heat for every dish yourself.

- Turmeric Powder - 100 g
- Cracked Black Pepper - 100 g
- Chilli Flakes - 100 g
- Ceylon Cinnamon C5 Powder - 100 g
- Organic Lemongrass Powder - 50 g
- Sri Lanka Curry Powder (Jaffna Curry) - 100 g
Total net quantity: 550 g.
Aroma profile & taste
The six spices cover a broad spectrum of flavours for the barbecue:
- Turmeric: earthy, warm and slightly bitter
- Cracked black pepper: robust, warm-hot and textured
- Chilli flakes: fruity and distinctly hot
- Ceylon Cinnamon C5: finely sweet, warm and slightly citrusy
- Organic lemongrass: fresh, bright and lemony
- Sri Lanka Curry: roasted, spicy and hot
This lets you put together both clear individual flavours and balanced rubs and marinades.
Origin
All six spices come from Sri Lanka. Turmeric and organic lemongrass come from Jaffna in the north of the island. The black pepper grows in the highland growing areas of Matale, Kandy and Kegalle. Ceylon cinnamon comes from the central region of Sri Lanka. Chilli is cultivated in traditional growing areas. The Sri Lanka curry is blended and ground from roasted ingredients according to a family recipe.
Use
The BLACKBOX is intended as a building-block kit for barbecue dishes:
- Steak and beef: Use cracked pepper with chilli flakes and a small amount of cinnamon as a dry rub.
- Chicken: Stir turmeric, lemongrass and curry with oil, lime juice and salt into a marinade.
- Grilled vegetables: Mix curry or turmeric with oil and apply thinly before grilling.
- BBQ sauce: Work chilli, pepper and a small pinch of Ceylon cinnamon into tomato or fruit sauces.
- Side dishes: Use curry and turmeric for rice, lentils or potatoes.
Dosage: Start with 1/2 to 1 tsp per portion. Dose chilli flakes and Sri Lanka curry carefully and increase to taste.

Where our spices really come from.
The six spices in the BLACKBOX come from different growing regions of Sri Lanka. Turmeric and organic lemongrass come from Jaffna. Black pepper grows in the highland regions around Kandy, Matale and Kegalle. Ceylon cinnamon comes from the island's traditional cinnamon-growing areas. The chilli and the ingredients of the roasted Sri Lanka curry blend are also grown and processed in Sri Lanka.
Each variety stays packed separately. So you can decide on flavour and heat yourself - and the origin of every spice remains traceable.

Frequently asked questions about BLACKBOX ON FIRE Barbecue Spice Set from Sri Lanka (6 varieties)
Contents, heat, use, allergens and price advantage of the barbecue spice set.
Contains 100 g turmeric powder, 100 g cracked black pepper, 100 g chilli flakes, 100 g Ceylon cinnamon C5 powder, 50 g organic lemongrass powder and 100 g Sri Lanka curry powder. The total net quantity is 550 g.

Chilli flakes and Sri Lanka Curry bring noticeable heat. Because both are packaged separately, the heat can be dosed individually from mild to robust.
Start with 1/2 to 1 tsp per portion. Use chilli flakes and curry sparingly at first. For marinades, mix the spices with oil and a little acidity such as lime or lemon juice.
The Sri Lanka curry contains MUSTARD in the form of mustard seeds. According to the product information available, the other five products contain no allergens subject to labelling requirements.
Bought individually, the items cost €43.70 in total. The set price is €34.95. You save €8.75, or around 20%.
No. The lemongrass powder it contains is certified organic. The BLACKBOX also contains five conventional products and is therefore not offered as a complete organic set.
The best-before date is always printed on the label on the back of the pack - that is where the binding value for your batch is stated. For full aroma, store the spices cool, dry and protected from light in the original packaging.
