7 Black-Owned Spice Brands Bringing The Flavor

Make room on your spice rack for these sensational seasonings.
7 Black-Owned Spice Brands Bringing The Flavor
By Jennifer Ford · Updated February 8, 2023

As the adage goes, “variety is the spice of life, that gives it its flavor.” Now think about this in terms of cooking in the kitchen. A myriad of Black-owned spice brands offers seasonings that can enhance the taste of your favorite dishes, taking them to an entirely new level. The only downside is that they may not be available at your local market. Fortunately, this is where Amazon comes into play.

The retailer’s Buy Black Store makes it easy to discover and purchase tantalizing blends made by Black artisans like chef Calvin Harris and EasyPeasie creators Jamelah Tucker and Dorielle Price. Many of these companies offer all-natural seasonings that bring loads of flavor. Below, we’ve rounded up the Black-owned spice brands on Amazon that check the box.
