What is Pragati Turmeric and how does it differ from regular turmeric?

Pragati Turmeric is a distinct variety of turmeric with its own flavor characteristics. While both are turmeric, different varieties can have variations in intensity, earthiness, and flavor notes, similar to how different pepper or tomato varieties taste different. It gives you options depending on whether you want turmeric as a background note or a more prominent flavor.

Can I use these spices for non-summer cooking?

Yes, these are versatile spices that work year-round. The bundle is called a summer trio because turmeric and coriander are particularly useful in lighter, brighter dishes common in warm weather—grilling, pickling, and fresh preparations—but they're valuable in any season for curries, roasted vegetables, soups, and baking.

How should I store these spices to keep them fresh?

Store them in a cool, dark place away from direct heat and sunlight. Keep the lids tightly closed between uses. Whole spices stay potent longer than ground, so if you receive whole coriander seeds, consider toasting and grinding them as needed for maximum flavor.

Are these spices organic or certified in any way?

Diaspora Co. sources directly from growers and focuses on single-origin, high-quality spices. For specific certifications like organic, Fair Trade, or others, check the product packaging or the merchant's detailed sourcing information, as these details can vary by harvest and origin.

Three warming spices for bright, summer-ready cooking

Most spice bundles are either a greatest-hits sampler or a theme you didn't ask for. This one is built around a season and a style of cooking—the months when you want marinades that work cold, pickles that come together fast, and flavors that don't weigh down a plate. Turmeric and coriander are workhorses in summer kitchens, and including a second turmeric variety gives you a reason to taste the difference and choose the one that fits the dish. It's a focused kit for people who actually cook this way, not a decorative jar collection.

The maker

Diaspora Co. built its reputation by going directly to spice farmers and bringing back varieties that taste like they were just harvested—because compared to the usual supply chain, they practically were. The company works with growers who cultivate specific varieties in specific regions, then handles importing and packing quickly enough that the spices reach your kitchen with their essential oils and flavor compounds intact.

This bundle reflects a deliberate choice: instead of offering a random selection, it gathers the spices that make the most sense when cooking shifts toward lighter fare. Turmeric and coriander appear in cuisines all over the world during hot months, whether that's South Asian pickles, Middle Eastern marinades, or Southeast Asian salads. Adding a second turmeric variety turns the set into a tasting opportunity, a chance to understand how the same spice can vary depending on where and how it's grown.

The details

This bundle brings together three spices that shine when the weather turns warm and cooking moves toward brighter, lighter flavors. You get turmeric, coriander, and Pragati Turmeric—each sourced as a single-origin ingredient and chosen for how they work in summer cooking.

Turmeric adds earthy warmth without heaviness, the kind that works in marinades, quick pickles, and salad dressings. Coriander brings citrus and gentle sweetness, perfect for grilled vegetables, seafood rubs, and cold grain salads. Pragati Turmeric is a distinct variety with its own flavor profile, lending itself to preserves, ferments, and dishes where you want turmeric to step forward.

The trio works together or separately, depending on what you're making. Use all three in a spice rub for chicken or fish headed to the grill. Reach for coriander alone when roasting summer squash. Add turmeric to a quick pickle brine for carrots or cucumbers. Each jar holds enough to experiment without worrying about using them up too fast.

Diaspora Co. sources directly from growers, so these spices arrive with the kind of freshness and potency that actually changes how a dish tastes. You'll notice the difference in color, aroma, and flavor compared to supermarket versions that may have been sitting in warehouses for months or years.

This set suits anyone who cooks more in the warmer months—whether that means firing up the grill, preserving the season's produce, or simply wanting spices that match the way you eat when it's hot outside.
