For a little bit of a savory spin, our friends at Curio Spice Co. in Cambridge are featuring their Everything Rainbow Spice Blend in celebration of Pride Month. They source spices from across the globe and so in turn they support LGBTIQ rights across the globe!  This full-spectrum ‘everything bagel’ blend is crunchy, colorful, and crave-worthy! Instead of the traditional garlic, onion and poppy seed of classic everything blends, they added sumac for tartness, maras chile flakes for umami heat, turmeric for earthiness, and blue cornflower for a floral, honeyed touch. Crafted in collaboration with David Goodtree of FoodGraph, this blend is great as a topping for hummus, salads, and eggs. 50% of proceeds from your purchase will support LGBTIQ equity. Outright International is dedicated to working with partners around the globe to strengthen the capacity of the LGBTIQ human rights movement, document and amplify human rights violations against LGBTIQ people, and advocate for inclusion and equality. Support a social cause this month and cook some rainbow spiced food!

While this sweet treat may not visually be rainbow its spirit is rainbow so it still counts! To celebrate Pride Month, our friends at Honeycomb Creamery are offering a special flavor in collaboration with Rhodium by RI Spirits. Cardamom, Coffee, & Black Walnut is a cardamom and coffee ice cream infused with a splash of their Coffee & Black Walnut Vodka and studded with homemade black walnut brittle pieces. A little aromatic and toasty, a little crunchy, with a slight funk from the black walnuts, this is a scoop with a lot going on! The proceeds from this flavor will be donated to TASSN, The Trans Asylum Seeker Support Network is a group that provides financial assistance and resources to trans individuals seeking asylum in the US. If this flavor isn’t your cup of tea or if you’d like to give to them directly, you can find their Givebutter link here or at the link in Honeycomb Creamery’s Instagram bio.
