The Rumi Spring Favorites Collection includes:
- Dill Seed: The newest spice to join the Rumi family, our wild-foraged Afghan dill seed, is aromatic & citrusy with subtle peppery notes. Add a pinch to your dressings, soups or marinades, or use to make this delicious homemade gravlax (hello Mother's Day brunch!).
- Herati Coriander: Farmed in the Herat region of Afghanistan, our coriander boasts a delicately sweet flavor with hints of pepper and mint and the classic touch of citrus. Use it as a marinade on grilled meat dishes, or add a pinch to your vinaigrettes or soups.
- Za'atar: This herb-based middle eastern spice mix blends our coriander and cumin with oregano, thyme, sesame, and sumac. It's zesty and herbaceous with a complex nuttiness. Try it as a seasoning for vegetables or poultry, or sprinkle some on grilled pita or hummus.
- Kabul Piquant Chicken: This unique blend is floral and fruity, making it an interesting addition in sweet & savory dishes alike. This blend works well in adding piquancy to rice and grains, or subtle proteins like white fish or chicken.
All of our spices are salt-free and packaged by hand to ensure maximum quality and freshness. Packaged in glass - BPA free.

Our Mission
We are a public benefit corporation and are committed to empowering Afghan women and bolstering the country’s economy. Rumi reinvests back into agricultural and manufacturing infrastructure.
Connecting AfghanistanRumi began with a mission to cultivate peace in Afghanistan. Over 80% of the Afghan population is reliant on the rural agricultural economy. The success of the spice industry not only helps farmers and the women providing direct labor, it can touch every member of the village we work in. We have seen output from our existing partners double and triple, while new farmers have asked to join our network.
With hot, dry winds over semi-arid lands, Afghanistan’s growing region is ideal for growing saffron and other artisanal spices. For example, in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, the International Taste and Quality Institute of Brussels awarded Afghan saffron first place out of 30 competing regions. Rumi saffron is tested in accordance with ISO (International Standards Organization) protocol 3632 and surpasses the highest standards for Category 1 saffron by over 25%. Our test results show that our farmers are producing some of the world’s best saffron.

Our Founding
Rumi’s founders were a team of military veterans who served in Afghanistan with the US Army. They developed our strong Afghan networks and on-the-ground understanding of how business is conducted. With this knowledge, we built the critical relationships, partnerships, and organizational infrastructure necessary to operate within and out of Afghanistan.
Our competitive advantage is our ability to navigate the Afghan business landscape, which is built on trusted relationships.

Now we join a global community of 1,500 other Certified B Corporations in over 120 industries and 40 countries with 1 unifying goal – to redefine success in business.
