This herb salt is an affirmation of heritage, resistance, and the right to exist with dignity—rooted in ancient Palestinian traditions that have fed body and spirit for centuries. It’s fiery, tangy, earthy, and deeply Palestinian. It’s a metaphor for what remains when everything else is taken—tiny remnants of what once was. With those remnants, I weave a story using shatta, the beloved cultural condiment, to bring heat, history, and heritage to all of our tables. Like the Palestinian spirit, the heat in this salt refuses to wither. This verdant, vibrant green salt is lush with spring herbs that flourish in Palestinian kitchens—herbs that, through decades of displacement, have offered comfort and refuge. Black cumin—bitter, smoky, defiant—leads. The seed of resilience, passed hand to hand as medicine, memory, and shield. Green chilies and serranos sting like the silenced tongues. Accompanying spices move subtly—like life lived under occupation’s shadow. Dressed with Equal Exchange Palestinian olive oil, it finishes with a bright, fruity hit of solidarity. This salt tastes and proves: being pro-Palestinian is being pro-equality, is to love life and demanding ways for all to live it in joy rather than dispossession. It is anti-erasure. Use it on Musakhan (مسخّن), Maqluba (مقلوبة), and Falafel (فلافل). Gift it. Let it open mouths and truth-tell. This salt stands for land, people, borders, culture, sovereignty—and the idea that it can happen to you.
