This collection is deeply personal—rooted in rebellion, flavor, and awakening. Its essence traces back to my early days of global travel, especially my herb work in the holy land, where my love for the people, food, and cultures of the broader Middle East first ignited. Among communities who used herbs audaciously—with boldness, reverence, and instinct—my herbal roots were born.

It was also where I first confronted the politics of division and the quiet coercion of othering—when leaders teach us to fear our neighbors and call it patriotism. I began to understand the danger of emotional manipulation used to dehumanize others. And I discovered the antidote: powerful, grounded rebellion—not silence or complicity.

My Arab Spring is a metaphor drawn from lived experience—shaped by regional uprisings, and the Middle Eastern hands and voices that offered kindness, ingenuity, and herbal inspiration against a tapestry of occupation, conflict, the ghostly hand of geopolitical forces, and personal realities between rocks and hard places. These salts speak in those voices. They carry stories of transformation—like how an herb shoot must sprout, a leaf unfurl, a bud bloom, a seed fall. We, too, must rise—and release.

These herbal salts are that rising: a spirit of change and reclamation. They’re designed to stretch your culinary and political comfort zones—to make them more global, risk-tolerant, generous, open, and bold.

This is a flavorful rebellion—potent and unapologetic. To awaken a hunger for more: more flavor, more reach, more truth. Whether it’s spring peas tangled with peppery mint, disrupted by the smoke of fiery Tunisian harissa—or zingy dill flooding Persian rice salt with a green-washed taste of spring—these salts don’t just season. They provoke. They confront. They are unyielding in their power.

Infused with spring’s wild softness and fierce force—grassy parsley, sweet chives, earthy, minty, sharp oreganos, potent petals—each blend is a meditation on collective strength and quiet power. Grounded in the commons, where nothing grows alone.

Born of my own tension to speak up, stand up, and bolden up, they reflect my dichotomy: tradition and modernism, reverence and reinvention, the desire to share and the instinct to protect. They will summon you to notice more, crave more, do more.

They’re peppered with vitality—steeped in resistance, textured by culture, shaped by uprising. They carry the sharp edge of revolution and the electric presence of now. Formed in the kitchens of basil farmers, along borderless roads, under armed protection, through occupied villages—feet in desert sand, hands in soil, mouth full of spice.

These flavors are built from history, but echo the restless pulse of new growth—my growth, our growth. Because spring is never new. It’s a return. A remembering. A chance to try again—to do better, do right, and call for home.

In honoring the world is connected by unseen knots, everything here is fused with the wild, awakening energy of my California spring—the place and season of my birth.
