Garam Masala (Copy)

Traditionally, this garam masala spice is added toward the end of cooking to preserve its aroma. Stir it into curries, dals, sabzis, rajma, soups, and braises, or sprinkle it over roasted vegetables. It also adds unexpected warmth to baked goods like apple pie, spice cakes, and quick breads.

Our Garam Masala is made with freshly harvested cumin, coriander, fennel, black pepper, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, black cardamom, green cardamom, tejpatta, ginger, and cloves. Every spice is selected for its flavor and freshness, creating an aromatic spice blend that's deeply aromatic, balanced, and versatile.

Absolutely. As an Indian seasoning mix, Garam Masala works far beyond curries. Add it to roasted potatoes, carrots, squash, lentil soups, grain bowls, marinades, burgers, or even popcorn. Its warm, aromatic spices also pair beautifully with apples, pears, chocolate, and other baked desserts.

Garam masala is a finishing spice blend used to add warmth, aroma, and depth to a wide range of dishes. While it's a staple in many South Asian recipes, it's equally at home in soups, roasted vegetables, braises, marinades, rice dishes, and baked goods. A small spoonful at the end of cooking can completely transform the flavor of a dish.

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.

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.

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.
