Diaspora Spices Co. is so proud to be partnering with the Agariya community, a tribe that has been working in the salt district of Gujarat, India for generations, to bring you this solar-powered, earth-filtered, and hand-pounded salt.

Using solar pumps provided by local NGO partners, the Agariyas harvest this bright, inland salt from the desert’s underground water table. The salt’s high-mineral content is preserved through a slow-filtration process through the desert soil.

In partnership with a local women's self-help group, whose members then hand-pound the salt to the perfect texture for everyday use, they able to ensure that the salt retains as much flavor as possible.
