Using salt as a focus, Gandhi, a native of Gujarat used salt to provide a concrete, understandable target for his campaign of satyagraha, or mass civil disobedience. 

Diaspora Spice Company partners with the Agariya community, a tribe that has been working in the salt district of Gujarat, India for generations, to bring 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, we are able to ensure that the salt retains as much flavor as possible. The salt comes from the famous desert of Little Rann of Kutch in Gujarat.
