Diaspora Co. Spices Wild Heimang Sumac

Our spectacular Cured Sumac is made using an ancient preservation technique, packing fresh, wild sumac berries in salt. A classic Middle Eastern finishing spice, swap it for lemon juice in any recipe or use it to add character and brightness to salads, fish, meat or dips. It has a bright, sour, salty and slightly fermented flavor. This is one of our most popular spices with home cooks and professional chefs alike!

Grown and foraged for us by our friends at Eko Land, a community of organic farmers from the heart of Sri Lanka, these wild cinnamon quills are harvested from spicy or "miris" old growth trees. Gently hand crushing a quill into your cooking can turn a simple pot of rice into an aromatic experience and bring just about any stew or curry to life. And since cinnamon loses it volatile oils and flavor compounds so quickly, using quills ensures that you're getting the freshest and most potent cinnamon there is!

Proudly grown by a cooperative of farmers in Sirārakhong and sourced for us by our friends Zeinorin & Alan of Hillwild. Legend has it that the villagers' ancestors found these exquisitely long, vibrant chillies growing in the wild on a hunting trip that they then brought home and have made a part of their daily cuisine ever since. Many nearby villages have tried to grow the Sirārakhong Hāthei chillies, but something about the terroir of Sirarakhong produces the very best of the best!

Potency, depth of flavor, place of origin, supporting small growers - it all makes a difference! Sumac We love the versatility of sumac, which is found in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. It has a tangy, citrusy flavor that makes it a great substitute for lemon, lime, and salt. Our favorite use for sumac is as a table condiment. It can be served in a small decorative bowl with a spoon or pinched with the fingers like flaky sea salt. Sumac works equally well in chicken dishes, meatballs, or roasted meats. It’s excellent in yogurt dishes, on eggs, or hot or chilled roasted vegetables.
