Diaspora Co. Pragati Turmeric

Grown by the Kasaraneni family amidst marigolds, bananas, and black rice, this heirloom Pragati turmeric comes from a third-generation farm. While Mr. Prabhu Kasaraneni’s family has been farming for generations, he is a self-taught organic farmer who began cultivating this turmeric in 2015 with assistance from the Indian Institute of Spice Research.

This is the spice Sana started the company with. In search of an heirloom turmeric that was both regeneratively grown and delicious, she was recommended to Mr. Prabhu Kasaraneni by the Indian Institute of Spice Research.

Prabhu was a young, idealistic farmer and the only one in his area to adopt regenerative farming practices. Initially, he faced criticism from neighboring farmers—until they saw how successful his methods were.

Today, this turmeric remains one of our most well-loved spices, and for good reason—it's delicious!
