Chaat Masala

Our Chaat Masala is made with freshly harvested, single-origin spices and wild-foraged ingredients sourced directly from our farm partners across South Asia. With amchur, Wild Heimang Sumac, black salt, cumin, coriander, fennel, mint, and more, this Indian spice blend is bright, tangy, savory, and designed to wake up any dish with just a pinch

Chaat Masala is best used as a finishing spice. Sprinkle it over fresh fruit, roasted vegetables, fries, popcorn, yogurt, avocado toast, or grilled corn, or use it as a seasoning for cucumber salad. It's also delicious stirred into lemonade, dusted over chips, or used to rim cocktail and mocktail glasses.

Traditionally, chaat masala is sprinkled over Indian street food, fresh fruit, and snacks just before serving. Its signature combination of tangy, savory, salty, and citrusy flavors instantly brightens everything from salads and potatoes to sandwiches, grain bowls, and roasted vegetables.

Absolutely. It's one of our favorite ways to season popcorn, watermelon, mango, pineapple, oranges, peaches, and cucumbers. As a seasoning for popcorn it adds a tangy, savory kick, and as a seasoning for watermelon or any other sweet fruit it makes each bite taste even juicier, turning simple snacks into something unforgettable.

Chaat Masala plays well with almost anything that could use a little brightness. Try it as a seasoning for fruit, or on roasted vegetables, potatoes, chickpeas, eggs, yogurt, salads, sandwiches, rice bowls, grilled meats, seafood, or even cocktails and mocktails. A final sprinkle just before serving is all it takes to make flavors pop.

Our farm partners have been cultivating spices using practices that go "beyond organic" for well over five years. Although they haven't obtained USDA certification yet, this is primarily because the initial certification can be costly and may lead to cycles of debt. To meet USDA standards, four years of inspections and certificates are required after the first certification. However, we consider this process redundant and unnecessary since we conduct thorough testing on every batch we procure. It's a prerequisite for Diaspora Co. to select farm partners whose soil health and agricultural practices align with our internal standards of growing food regeneratively.

Most of the spices are good 2 years from the mill date, which is listed on the harvest label sticker on the jar or bag. That being said, our spices are extremely potent and fresh as we take incredible care to source yearly and aim for quality, so 2 years is our most conservative guideline, compared to most spices in the grocery store which are often 5-10 years old upon purchase.

Store them in an airtight container in a dark, dry place. Do not store spices in direct sunlight, as this will shorten their shelf life.
