126 Decolonizing spices with Sana Javeri Kadri, founder of Diaspora Co.
Manage episode 269961839 series 1401967
Most of the spices you buy at the grocery store are several years old, but that's only part of the problem. When Diaspora Co. founder Sana Javeri Kadri discovered how disconnected US spice pantries are from their origins, she started a company to change how we think about our spice supply chains.
Diaspora Co. is one of only a few direct trade spice companies out there, and sourcing these spices has been a lesson in disconnecting heirloom spices from the influence of Western colonization. For example, indigenous varieties of turmeric were introduced to the Western world under names which simply reduced them to a color, but with Diaspora Co., Sana is bringing story to Indian spices. In this episode, Sana shares how a more transparent supply chain can be a huge step for food justice.
