Hi, I’m Bhavna—and this is my grandmother, Salomi.

The best food memories of my life began in her kitchen

I grew up in a small city in South India, in a home where food wasn’t just food—it was ritual, memory, and love. Summers meant long days in Guntur at my grandmother’s home, filled with the aromas of her cooking. Sundays were for my mom’s sambar; special occasions weren’t complete without my dad’s biryani. Food was how we gathered, connected and celebrated.

When I moved to the U.S. and started cooking for myself, something was missing. The grocery store spices were flat and flavorless—nothing like the vibrant, aromatic ingredients I’d grown up with. And on the other end, I saw how the farmers were too often underpaid and unseen.

I began sourcing the real thing: black pepper with jammy notes of fig and apricot, floral fennel, delicate cinnamon. People kept saying they'd never had spices this fresh.

That’s how Sourcery began—my way of bringing freshness, fairness, and flavor back to the kitchen. Because good ingredients do more than make food taste better. They tell stories, connect us to people and places, and turn everyday meals into something more meaningful.

Whether it’s our jaggery adding that toffee richness to your morning coffee or our pepper adding that je ne sais quoi to a simple fried egg, Sourcery spices are here to make every dish more vibrant, memorable, and delicious.
