"With notes of red wine and nutmeg, this black pepper is an epiphany!"
"It was better than any turmeric I have tasted."
"Diaspora Co.’s Pragati turmeric is so fragrant it’s almost intoxicating. The Aranya pepper smells like ripe fruit and tastes like smoke, chocolate, and mandarins."
Farmer Spotlight
Mr. Prabhu Kasaraneni & his PRAGATI TURMERIC
While Mr. Prabhu Kasaraneni’s family has been farming for three generations, he is a self-taught organic farmer who began growing heirloom Pragati Turmeric in 2015 with assistance from the Indian Institute of Spice Research. Today, it is still one of our most well-loved spices, and for good reason — it's the most delicious turmeric we have ever tried!
