Who we source from Diaspora Co. Spices was started with a bold vision: to transform the spice trade by investing in the best regenerative farms across South Asia, paying farmers 3 to 5 times the typical commodity price they’d receive. 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 Our cumin is smoky, with the aroma of fresh rain (I'm not kidding!). It pairs perfectly with our coriander, balancing out its bright floral notes with the cumin's heady base notes. Grown in the scorching high temps of the Thar Desert, it's the fruit of intense heat and sandy desert soil. The Vishoi family has been farming cumin organically for the last five years in the district of Jodhpur. Our Jodhana Cumin is grown alongside groundnuts, wheat, and fenugreek, and farmed using vermicomposting, natural pest repellent, and fermented fertilizers. Mangilal Vishoi's dream is to build a resource center to provide bio inputs to other farmers and help grow the regenerative movement!
