How we make it

From Ethiopian farms to your pot

QuBase Agri Foods builds the foundations of the urban Ethiopian kitchen, starting with the onion.

Our process

Six steps from field to pouch

Sourced from Ethiopian farms
Step 1

Sourced from Ethiopian farms

We buy red onions from Ethiopian farmers, chosen for size, firmness, and color.

Sorted and peeled
Step 2

Sorted and peeled

Every onion is checked by hand, then peeled and washed.

Chopped
Step 3

Chopped

Onions are chopped finely and evenly so they cook at the same pace.

Slow-cooked
Step 4

Slow-cooked

Cooked slowly until soft and sweet. Kulet gets its oil and berbere here.

Cooled and packed
Step 5

Cooled and packed

Cooled quickly and sealed in resealable food-grade retort pouches with the batch and date.

Checked and delivered
Step 6

Checked and delivered

Each batch is checked before it leaves our factory.
