Wild Heimang Sumac

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

Grown wild and foraged by the Ningthi village in the Ukhrul hills, this sundried and hand-pounded Heimang or Chinese Sumac is sourced for us by our friends at Hillwild. Sumac is used as a tangy, flavorful souring agent when fresh lemons aren't in season, and may also ease digestion.
