Diaspora Spice Co. was founded to radically reimagine the spice trade: investing money, equity, and power directly into the best regenerative spice farms across South Asia. They are a queer, woman of color owned business. Their spices tell stories of freedom, struggle, and diaspora through food.
Hailed for its aroma and flavor alike, the ubiquitous garam masala elevates just about any dish with its signature complexity, versatility, and heat. While every family's recipe is different, garam masala makes up the base of thousands of South Asian dishes. After testing 25 versions and creating five of their own, Diaspora Spice Co. came up with this final blend — 12 single-origin, freshly-harvested spices that have been carefully roasted and blended for a perfect balance of spicy, sweet, earthy, and zesty flavors.
Sourced from 58 small regenerative family farms across India and Sri Lanka, the spices in this tin have been chosen for their flavor, freshness, and potency. In their commitment to building a more equitable spice trade, they pay an average 4x premium to their farm partners.
If you've made it to the Southeast Alaska State Fair and gotten to try our Curry Potato and Pea Pasties, this is the key ingredient (along with Nick's homemade puff pastry and homegrown Yukon Gold potatoes).
