Diaspora Co

Diaspora Co started with us the same way it started as a company: with the turmeric. Pragati turmeric is the spice that launched Diaspora Co in 2017, and it's still their most recognizable. Grown in Andhra Pradesh, it averages 4.5–5% curcumin compared to the 1–1.5% you'll find in most supermarket turmeric. That difference shows up immediately: earthy and vibrant, with a freshness ground turmeric usually loses long before it reaches a jar.

From there we've stuck mostly to their Indian-specific spices and blends: garam masala, tandoori masala, chai masala, chaat masala, golden milk, popcorn seasoning, pumpkin spice, jaggery, and their black tea.

Diaspora Co was founded with a dream of building a radically new, truly equitable spice trade. They source single-origin spices from over 150 farms across India and Sri Lanka, and pay their farm partners an average of 6x the commodity price, otherwise know as a living wage.
