Sourcing

Kaka Suhrab Khan

Kaka Sohrab Khan, a resilient farmer from the Gozarah district of Herat, Afghanistan, embodies the spirit of hope and determination. With a family of five children - two lovely daughters and 3 energetic boys - Kaka Sohrab’s life revolves around not just nurturing his family but also nurturing his dreams.

(Kaka means uncle, culturally we use this word out of respect for elders.)

For the past six years, Kaka Sohrab has been an integral part of the Heray Spice cooperative, cultivating saffron on his five-acre plot of land. To him, saffron isn't just a crop; it's a symbol of a better future for his children. He knows that education holds the key to a brighter tomorrow for his family, and every thread of saffron he carefully tends to represents an opportunity for his children to escape the cycle of poverty.

Kaka Sohrab’s day begins with the golden rays of the sun, as he tends to his saffron fields. His hard work and dedication are the cornerstones of Heray Spice's commitment to ethical sourcing. He's not just a farmer; he's a custodian of tradition, culture, and dreams.

Owner is a great guy and his spices are top notch quality. You cannot go wrong with any purchase from Heray Spice. I also highly recommend his harissa spice blend for an easy great tasting seasoning to any meat.

Wow. What an incredible family story and business. We are so excited to use our spices to make cardamom cake and other goodies. Thank you so much!

I love Heray Spice. I'm so happy I found this for my saffron needs. This order I added the Pistachio Brittle for my son. He is excited to try it!

I have ordered Saffron from Heray Spice a number of times and have never been disappointed. I also use their spices at home, and our restaurant. Either way, they're wonderful. They arrive quickly and are always in great condition. I will definitely be ordering again!

Heray spice services are impeccable, their products are amazing, and the prices are fair. The products that I receive are always excellent, orders arrive in a timely manner and they are always well packaged. They are excellent at what they do. Thank you!

I sat with you as you ate lunch at the One of a Kind festival Saturday. I bought a box of your candy. It is captivating and delicious. I will be ordering more.
Thank you for bringing such a delicious product to Chicago.

Lovely spices! Very fresh and high quality.

It is hard to know where your food comes from these days...especially dried spices. I have no idea where the spices came from and how long they have been sitting on the shelf. I am so grateful to Mohammed and his wife Anita for their wonderful business Heray Spice. They are so generous with their time and have helped to explain exactly where everything comes from and take such pride in their products. In addition to the freshest spices I have had the pleasure to buy, their mission to give back to the farmers and community is amazing. I encourage you to shop from them, you won't regret it!

OMG. I love small business and love when these businesses take the time to cultivate and establish their client base. Heray Spice is one of those, of which I speak. I had a taste for Saffron rice and was not finding decent saffron, as I remembered from when I was young. I saw the listing for Heray Spice and called. Mohammad was most kind and we set up to meet. I was delayed by an accident and he was most kind to wait. What I found, beyond his warm greetings, was some of the finest kesar in Chicago. Show this man some love! If you need real saffron, call now. I am not a paid spokesperson. Peace!

I have been using Heray Saffron since 2017 and I found it high quality and tasty. Plus the prices are very reasonable. Thank you for your great customer service and amazing Saffron.

The best saffron in the world. Love this company's product.I highly recommend it

I love this saffron. Best flavor, best smell, makes the foods delicious.

Amazing product !

I love the Heray Saffron
