May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. And in many parts of the country, celebrations and cultural events take place to commemorate and honor people from all over Asiaâas well as Hawaiian natives.
No celebration would be complete without recognizing the rich culinary traditions within AAPI communities. From kitchen products that make cooking easier to a smattering of direct-to-consumer spices and condiments, here are AAPI-owned food brands we love.

Due to COVID-19, I haven t gone out to eat in months. Ordering delivery is fine but there are dishes that have strict requirements on serving temperature and vesselsâlike sizzling sisig, a Filipino dish that I miss. As the name suggests, this dish is served sizzling hot right off the grill, which is simply impossible with takeout.
However, cooking this dish from scratch is challengingâmost of my condiments lean Chinese, Japanese, and European, and the ingredients this dish calls for are hard to find in the grocery store near me. Then I discovered Omsom, a pantry brand that focuses on all things Asian.
