What does merguez spice blend consist of?

Merguez sausages are fairly thin sausages with a spicy flavour and a red colour. They owe that colour to some of the herbs that are part of this merguez spice blend that you can buy online here. For example, paprika and chilli are not only known for their spicy flavour, but also for the bright colour they add to food. In addition to these two spices, the merguez herb blend also contains coriander, cumin and garlic. The special flavour of merguez sausages is due to the combination of herbs and spices. In addition, salt and pepper have already been added, so you don't have to season them.
