About Spicewell
Spicewell is the 5X selling out superfood company, and movement to take on Big Food and demand better for us and the earth products, rooted in Ayurveda. Founded by tech industry veteran, Raina Kumra, after her family faced overlapping health challenges. She leaned on her Ayurvedic instincts to deploy the power of the pantry to integrate healthy, healing foods into every bite we eat. Spicewell is the world’s first nutrient dense, Ayurvedic salt and pepper. Made with vitamins derived from organic vegetables like kale, broccoli, cranberry and maitake mushrooms to name just a few - it delivers 10% of your daily vitamins in a half teaspoon serving size. The vitamins are heat resistant and excellent to cook or season with. Spicewell New Salt is 30% lower in sodium than regular salt and blended with Ashwagandha, an adaptogen which helps your body cope with stress. Spicewell New Pepper is blended with Turmeric, in a powerful ancient recipe known to help with inflammation and circulation. The products taste incredible, and can be used in place of regular salt and pepper daily. Spicewell is clean label, double lab tested for toxic heavy metals, non-GMO, vegan, and gluten free. All Spicewell packaging is recycled or compostable. Spicewell is backed by expert advisors such as functional medicine expert Dr. Mark Hyman, Ann Veneman, of the USDA, Nestle and Unicef, Ayurvedic doctors and founders of FlyByJing and Isharya. Michelin starred and James Beard award winning chefs love our products and so will you! As I began formally studying plant medicine to deepen my understanding of the science behind where our medicine originally came from, I understood how the food we eat has an outsized impact on our ability to fend off chronic disease. In short, we are better off getting our vitamins from vegetables and fruits of many colors than taking them in pill form. I began doing more research on the fact that our soil has fewer nutrients now than it ever has, and that the food grown in this soil is also less nutritive. I came to understand how our entire food and health system was broken. And no matter how well we eat, we are still not getting enough of what we need. I learned that most Americans are walking around with a nutrient deficiencyEditSign. And there is a direct link to chronic illness. And, being the problem-solver and movement-builder that I am at my core, I was determined to fix this at scale. I set out to solve this problem by starting with the first nutrient-dense and lower-in-sodium salt and pepper. I’ve added ancient Ayurvedic formulations known to help the body and mind adapt to inflammation and stress, as well as 21 vitamins and minerals to eat with your food - the way they were always meant to be absorbed. I started with salt and pepper because they unite the American palate and my aim is to bring you a little bit extra (specifically, 10% of your recommended daily intake of key nutrients), without sacrificing flavor and without changing our daily habits around cooking and seasoning. No woman is an island. I cannot change the world alone. We need our passionate customers, like you, to drive the movement towards better eating forward. And I’ve assembled an all-star team of advisors and talented humans to power our work and bring you the smartest, healthiest foods.
