Kashmiri Chillies
Pulwama, Kashmir
Farm Story
Grown by the Farukh family on their ancestral land in Pulwama in the Kashmir valley, from seed that has been passed down for generations, alongside purple stripe heirloom garlic. This is true Kashmiri mirch - hot as ever, and with that deep color and heat that iconic Kashmiri dishes like our farm partner Bashir Ahmed's famous rogan josht is known for!
Read The Diaspora Chilli Primer that our recipe editor Asha put together for more information about the differences between all of our chillies, including how to dehydrate whole chillies, and ideas for how to use them!

3 STEPS • 6-12 MONTHSGrown for flavor and aroma, our spices are guaranteed to be the most recent harvest to ensure the highest potency and freshness. We partner with small, multi-generational family farms, paying them an average 4x premium for their regeneratively farmed, single-origin spices. Each spice takes us anywhere from a few months to several years to source, based on rigorous lab testing, in-field visits, and of course, several tastings.
We grow at the rate of agriculture—when a harvest sells out, that’s it until next season! This is because our spices are single-origin in the truest sense of the word; our most recent harvest policy guarantees maximum deliciousness & freshness to you!
*Our Community Sourcing Partners add an important layer of on-the-ground relationship building and quality control that ultimately results in fresher, more delicious spices.

3 Steps • 6-12 MonthsIn the commodity trading model several farmers crops are mixed together at every stage. Quality is assessed based on aesthetics (color and size) versus how it was grown, which seeds it was grown from, and how it tastes or smells. It means that the farmer has no agency or control over the price they receive, or the quality of the final product. We’re here to say that that system is no longer good enough—we all deserve better.
