Bahārāt (Arabic: بَهَارَات) is the Arabic word for "spices" (the plural form of bahār, 'spice'). The word originates from the Indian name Bharata, an Indian emperor, as India was historically a large producer and trader of spices with the Middle East. This is also sometimes known as Middle Eastern 7-spice. However, depending on its precise origin the blend can also include: Turmeric, Saffron, Ginger and Dried red chillies or paprika. This Syrian version actually contains eight spices, with the addition of cardamom seeds. The dark colour of baharat is due to the inclusion of cloves.
