The Story Behind the Region's First Stock & Broth Pastes
Máráqáh was born in a local UAE kitchen with a simple mission: to give families the high-quality, nutritious food they deserve, without the hidden additives. We are the proud winners of the 2024 Spinneys Local Business Incubator, and every jar is made with the same love and care we use to feed our own children. It’s real food for real families.
Founded by Donia Elkhouli, a mother and entrepreneur, Máráqáh started as a personal journey when she returned to work after her maternity leave and couldn’t find a clean, nourishing broth to support her family’s wellness. So she took matters into her own hands and made her own. What started as a personal solution became a UAE-born brand bringing shelf-stable, homemade-quality stock pastes to kitchens across the country.
Máráqáh officially launched in the UAE, inspired by Donia’s vision to simplify healthy cooking for every household. Each jar is crafted with care, free from preservatives, MSG,
artificial enhancers, and gluten—offering a flavorful, all-natural alternative to traditional stock cubes. Máráqáh is redefining everyday cooking by combining tradition with convenience.
At Máráqáh, we believe cooking should be simple, wholesome, and joyful—just as it was meant to be. Join us on our journey to transform kitchens across the region to hubs for family nutrition and personal wellbeing, one jar at a time.
