Blonde Myrrh (Murr Ashqar) is the lighter, gentler cousin of the familiar dark myrrh. Its pale amber beads glow like sun-warmed honey, and the aroma is soft and balsamic with a sweet, woody finish. Where darker resins can taste harsh, blonde myrrh stays smooth and rounded, which is exactly why it has been prized across the Gulf for generations.

In the kitchen, a small piece goes a long way. Crush a few beads and add them to Arabic coffee, spiced tea, or slow-cooked rice and meat dishes for a subtle resinous depth that lingers without overpowering. It also pairs beautifully with cardamom, saffron, and dried lime in traditional blends.

Beyond cooking, many households keep blonde myrrh on hand for its warm, clean scent. Burn a few pieces on charcoal to freshen a room, or steep it in warm water as part of a traditional home remedy. The resin is naturally long-lasting, so one jar will serve you for months.

Each batch is hand-sorted from carefully selected trees, cleaned, and packed to lock in its golden colour and fresh fragrance. Choose blonde myrrh when you want an authentic ingredient that brings both flavour and heritage to your table.
