So, what is bragðefni?

Bragðefni is a versatile food ingredient that adds a unique and savory taste to a variety of dishes. Hailing from Iceland, this ingredient is made by fermenting barley, rye, or wheat to create a rich, umami flavor with hints of salt and sweetness. Bragðefni is often used in traditional Icelandic dishes such as rúgbrauð (rye bread), hangikjöt (smoked lamb), and harðfiskur (dried fish). It can also be used as a seasoning for meats, soups, stews, and sauces to add a depth of flavor that is both complex and satisfying. Try using bragðefni in your cooking to elevate your dishes to the next level.
