Raha Breakfast
Sweet and simple Raha Strawberry Jam is not your regular, run off-the-mill Strawberry Jam. After all, its source for strawberries is Nuredin Hassan's organic strawberry farm. While Nuredin's strawberries are more expensive than other strawberries, due to being organic, the price of his strawberry jam is on the other end of the spectrum.
This is due to the fact that, when Nuredin decided to make strawberry jam, he was simply looking for a way to save the strawberries that he periodically couldn't sell. It is due to this simple fact that his jam has one of the highest concentrations of strawberries per jar. Other jams are often made from the pulp of various fruits, even cucumber, and then artificially colored and flavored. However, anyone can tell from looking at all the strawberry seeds in Raha Strawberry Jam that it is made from real strawberries without any other fruit added as fillers. True to Nuredin's organic strawberry farm, it also contains no artificial colors or flavors and no preservatives.
A few imported strawberry jams may be made without other fruit fillers, but they still contain artificial coloring. This is usually because they have cooked the strawberries, stored them for up to a few months, and then cooked them again.
When this process is used, the strawberries lose their bright, natural, red color and turn a dull, unappetizing brown, requiring artificial coloring to be added. Raha Strawberry Jam is only cooked once and is not stored for extended periods of time, retaining its natural color.
Some jams are watery and sloppy and slide off a knife too easily, while other jams are so thick that they don't spread evenly, but Raha Strawberry jam has the perfect consistency for easy spreading, making every bite as good as the last.
The name Raha means relaxed and feeling good in the Harrari tongue of eastern Ethiopia. It is also a combination of the first two letters of Nuredin's mother's and father's name, reminding consumers that Raha Strawberry Jam is a great tasting and health treat for the whole family.
