What to know about ras el hanout

Ras el hanout is the North African house blend whose name translates roughly as head of the shop, meaning the best a spice merchant has to offer. That is also why it is difficult to grade: there is no standard recipe, and a jar can run from a tidy dozen spices to more than thirty, taking in cinnamon, cumin, coriander, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, mace, cloves, dried rose petals and, in most commercial versions, chilli or paprika. We grade it D for salicylates, and the blend is exactly why. No single spice in there is the culprit; the salicylate load is cumulative, and a spoonful of ras el hanout delivers what would otherwise be five or six separate additions. Nightshade comes in at C, entirely down to the chilli and paprika that many but not all blends include. Beyond those two the picture is reassuring: gluten A, lactose A, FODMAPs A, histamine A, nickel A, sulfite A, with oxalate and free glutamate both sitting at B. If a Moroccan tagine or a spiced roast leaves you flushed or itchy and the meat and vegetables have already been cleared, the blend is the ingredient to isolate.
