They’re all about bringing wildly flavorful, incredibly fresh spices into kitchens everywhere. As a queer, woman of color-owned and led business, Diaspora Co. isn’t just about amazing heirloom spices — it’s about building something by and for their community. They’re redefining what "Made in South Asia" stands for and sharing stories of freedom, resilience, and diaspora through the love of food.

About this Product

Derived from the Hindi word “chaatna,” which means to lick, and quintessential to the street food genre of the same name, our mouth-puckering blend is meant to be relished. Our 12 single-origin, freshly-harvested spices create a perfect balance of salty, sour, and umami flavors. Sprinkle yours on top of cut fruit, use it to rim a cocktail glass, stir it into your yogurt or seltzer, or add it to your favorite sweet and savory snacks! Sourced from 30 small regenerative family farms across India and Sri Lanka, the spices in this jar have been chosen for their flavor, freshness, and potency. In our commitment to building a more equitable spice trade, we pay an average 6x premium to our farm partners. Ingredients: Kesari Amchur, Black Salt, Jodhana Cumin, Nandini Coriander,
