High-Minerality · Earth-Filtered · Hand-Pounded · Solar-Powered
Diaspora's salt comes from the famous desert salt pans in the Wild Ass Sanctuary and Little Rann of Kutch in Gujarat. After Gandhi's Dandi Salt March in 1930, Gujarati salt became a symbol of freedom and an act of nonviolent civil disobedience against the British Empire - emblematic of sunshine and freedom alike.
Partnering with the Agariya community, a tribe that has been working in the salt district of Gujarat, India for generations, Diaspora brings 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, the salt retains as much flavor as possible.
