Founded by Chef Kudzai Bingepinge and Awa Kone - N/UM is where authenticity meets innovation. Rooted in the rich traditions and terroir of Africa, N/UM is more than just a gourmet salt company—it’s a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern culinary innovation. Inspired by an ancient healing practice from the oldest living lineage of the modern humans (the Khoisan), N/UM means “ Potent Healing energy”. Our salts, sourced with intention, reflect the purity and power of nature. We take pride in offering salts of the highest and purest quality. Crafted by nature and hand-packed with care, each grain embodies our commitment to organic purity and economic empowerment for the local communities. We don’t stop at tradition—we elevate it. Our culinary innovation goes beyond the expected, crafting complex salt blends that layer flavor in extraordinary ways. At N/UM, we invite chefs, restaurants, and home cooks to discover salt as an ingredient, not just a seasoning—one that carries history, craftsmanship, and an undeniable depth of flavor.
