FLAVOUR FIRST: DIASPORA CO SPICES, AVAILABLE NOW

Product image

Diaspora Trio 02

Diaspora select farms and growers for their commitment to flavour and regenerative growing, and have been doing so since 2017, when they began sourcing spices in India and Sri Lanka. Farmed and foraged in Jodhpur, Gujarat and Manipur respectively, these three spices are packed at their very best to lock in flavour.

Jodhana Cumin comes from the Vishoi family in Jodhpur, and is earthy and smoky – inevitably reflecting the scorchingly high temperatures it is grown in, in the Thar Desert.

Nandini Coriander carries notes of lemon and flowers, and is farmed alongside fruits by the Sakariya family in Shedubhar, Gujarat.

Wild Heimang Sumac is a unique variety foraged by the Ningthi village in the Ukhrul hills of Ningthi, Manipur. It brings the unmistakable aroma of black tea along with the typical lemon smack of sumac.

Jodhana Cumin

The Vishoi family have been farming cumin for the last five years in the Rajasthani district of Jodhpur, using vermicomposting, natural pest repellent, and fermented fertilisers, to achieve the very best flavour. This cumin is grown alongside groundnuts, wheat and fenugreek, and its woody, smoky flavour is a testament to the extremely hot Thar Desert temperatures it is grown in. It pairs well with Nandini Coriander, providing a deep base for its brighter taste.

Nandini Coriander

From the Sakariya family farm in Shedubhar, Gujarat, comes Nandini Coriander. This is a variety that third generation farmer Dharmesh has developed over a number of years, especially for its nuanced, layered fragrance. When the seeds have grown ample and green, the Coriander is harvested, and then sundried and threshed.

Wild Heimang Sumac

This is Heimang or Chinese Sumac, which is foraged wild in the Ukhrul hills of Ningthi, Manipur. It is sundried and hand-pounded, and brings the fundamental essence of Sumac in its lemony taste, though it also carries some more surprising notes of cranberry and black tea.

We exist to fix the food system.

People are more cut off from the origins of their food than ever. This makes flavour, nutrition and farming practices that protect the planet, almost impossible to find.

By working directly with growers, we create a more sustainable way forward for farming. By giving everyone the tools to understand the power of our food choices, we empower everybody to become drivers of change.

Now is the time for action. Join the food system revolution.
