The 4-spice set includes every spice that the Sharks tasted:

  • Our Royal Cinnamon is an heirloom variety not widely harvested or exported, and it exemplifies the intense sweetness and spiciness for which Vietnamese cinnamon is prized. Use it in place of Saigon or other cinnamons in pastries and baked goods, or sprinkle into rich, savory meat or tomato-based dishes.
    Origin:

    Quang Nam Mountains, Vietnam

    Size: 1.8 oz
    Kosher

    • Beautiful in baked goods, spice cookies and desserts
    • Sprinkle over yogurt and oatmeal, and add to smoothies
    • Brew with your favorite coffee or tea
  • Our Wild Mountain Cumin has a savory, penetrating aroma and bright, umami flavor evocative of grilled meats and sweet caramelized onions. The tiny, oblong seeds are hand-picked by foragers in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan. The seeds are smaller and softer than the cumin you may be used to, and they do not need to be ground before use.
    Origin:

    Badakhshan, Afghanistan

    Size: 1.5 oz
    Kosher

    • Mix whole seeds into guacamole, vinaigrettes or yogurt-based spreads
  • Black Lime is a versatile ingredient with a famously savory and tart flavor. Ours comes from a family farm in Guatemala. The limes are sun-dried, then ground into an easy-to-use powder. A versatile ingredient common in Persian cooking, they have a savory, tart flavor that's great on roasted meat or vegetables, in stews and anywhere you'd use lime juice.

  • Our award-winning, vine-ripened Zanzibar Black Peppercorns are carefully hand-picked and sun-dried for a bright, lemony and spicy peppercorn that's unlike anything else on the planet. These are rich, chocolate-colored peppercorns with dense wrinkles and a bright, fruity spiciness.

  • Our Toasted Onion Powder has an exceptionally rich, sweet, toasty flavor that leaves other onion powders in the dust. The delicious allium flavor comes through in stews, stocks, braises, rubs, dressings, savory breads and more. It can even be used in sweet baked goods — its onion-y sweetness is unlike anything we've ever tasted.

    • Add to stocks, soups, sauces, braises and dressings
  • Our rich, sweet Smoked Pimentón Paprika comes from a protected region in Western Spain, where sweet red peppers have been grown and smoked for centuries. Fresh peppers are slowly dried over oak coals, which imbue them with a rich, smoky flavor that imparts a savory depth and gorgeous color.

SOURCING

Sourcing image

All our single origin spices are sourced directly from our partner farmers around the world. They are grown regeneratively and organically whenever possible, and our supply chain is direct from farm to jar. These are the freshest, most flavorful spices on the market, and your purchase helps support smallholder farmers in many different countries.

Most spice supply chains are completely opaque: where the spices came from, who grew them, and how they were grown is usually a mystery. That’s not by accident — the systems we live with today are legacies of the colonial spice trade, which was designed to disenfranchise farmers and shortchange consumers. Burlap & Barrel is a Public Benefit Corporation, and our mission is to end inequality and exploitation in food systems by connecting farmers to high-value markets, helping smallholders farmers generate larger share of the product's value, and establishing long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships.

Our business model is not only better for our partner farmers and our world, it also makes for much fresher, more flavorful spices!
