About this product

Sold in small 100g packs, often supplied in cases of 100, dinsi (also spelled diinsi) is a dried, finely ground root powder rooted in Somali household tradition, prepared by drying and crushing a seasonal root into a reddish powder. It is a familiar item on Somali grocery shelves in the UK and wider diaspora, kept alongside other traditional spices and remedies rather than everyday cooking staples.

Good to know

Dinsi (diinsi): what it is and where to buy it

What is dinsi?

Dinsi, also spelled diinsi, is a fine reddish powder made from the root of the likke plant and kept in Somali households as a traditional product. The root is harvested around the end of the rainy season, cut into pieces, dried in the sun and ground into powder.

Is dinsi the same as diinsi?

Yes. Dinsi and diinsi are two English spellings of the same Somali word, and both refer to the same powdered likke root sold in this 100g pack.

Where can I buy dinsi in the UK?

Saba Wholesalers sells dinsi in 100g packs online, with tracked delivery to the UK mainland, and at our cash and carry at 60–66 Nedham Street, Leicester LE2 0HA. Shops and resellers can buy it in larger quantities at trade prices.

Do you make any health claims for dinsi?

No. We sell dinsi as a traditional product and make no medicinal or health claims for it. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition, speak to your GP or pharmacist before using it.

How should I store dinsi?

Keep the pack sealed in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight, and close it tightly after each use so the powder stays dry.

What other Somali groceries do you stock?

Alongside dinsi we carry bur canjeero flour, Safa xawaash seasoning for rice and pasta, Banadir One spiced coffee and digir red beans, all from the same Leicester warehouse.
