For the First Time Ever… We Have Burbara Kits!

We’re thrilled to introduce something truly special this season: our first-ever Burbara Kits, created so you can celebrate St. Barbara’s Day the Palestinian way — with a warm, spiced bowl of traditional Burbara pudding.

This year, we want to revisit the tradition with a new recipe, a bit of history, and a beautiful kit filled with fair-trade Palestinian ingredients.

What Is Burbara?

Burbara is a fragrant wheat pudding enjoyed across Palestine on December 4th. Families simmer whole wheat with cozy spices, sweeten it lightly, and top it with nuts, fruit, and colorful Nabulsi licorice candies. It’s a dish filled with memory, warmth, and celebration — especially for children who wait eagerly for it every year.

Now, you can make it at home, wherever you are.
