DJONDJON 101

DjonDjon mushroom is an act of God in itself. Harvesting it demands time, patience, and a deep reverence for the land that nurtures it.

Foundation

The Rarest Crop in Ayiti

DjonDjon is from a family of edible mushrooms found almost exclusively in northern Haiti. To the untrained eye, they appear unassuming, small, dry, almost fragile. Yet in the pot, they release a savory magic that infuses any` dish with their unmistakable aroma and color.

Growth

Breaking New Ground

As the world evolves, so has our perspective. We’ve come to realize that innovation lies not only in going against the grain, but in creating pathways others can consider as a better alternative. How many times have we been discouraged from making djondjon dishes because of the time-consuming process, with the alternatives failing to capture the true authenticity of the leaves.

Evolution

Global Resonance

We’ve reimagined the process, crafting a product that preserves the soul of Haiti’s rarest crop while removing the barriers to enjoying it. Now, whether you’re in Port-au-Prince or Paris, you can bring the richness of Ayiti’s culinary heritage to your table. No compromise, no shortcuts, just authenticity made effortless.

Future

L'ART DE LA TABLE

Today, we find ourselves on the cusp of new possibilities by carrying the lessons of our journey while stepping into the unknown with both confidence and curiosity. It’s this spirit that inspired us to craft a djondjon product that stays true to tradition, yet frees you from the long hours of cleaning and steeping.

FAIR TRADE SOURCING

Breaking the Cycle of Poverty in Haiti

In L'Artibonite's lush valleys, our family forged a remarkable bond with the farming community. Nurtured by our mom's native ties and decades-long political and NGO work in the region, this partnership is more than transactional.
We source the prized mushrooms directly from these farmers at above market prices. Beyond that, we actively collaborate, share knowledge and resources through business funding, sponsoring their children's education to drive economic and social empowerment.

OUR ORIGINS

Lakay Djondjon is a clean, healthy product that honors the authentic roots of Haitian cuisine. Leveraging our mother's long-standing connections with Haitian farmers, cultivated through her political and NGO work in the region, we identified a market gap for an organic, ethically sourced Djondjon product.
This allowed us to cut out the middlemen while supporting the farmers who grew this beloved crop. Next, we got to work developing a GMO-free Djondjon formula that captured that familiar essence of home.
No artificial preservatives or additives - just real, simple ingredients that let Djondjon's bold, earthy flavors shine through. Our mission was to make a version that instantly transported the taste buds of the Haitian diaspora back to grandma's kitchen.

I made some food with the piman and beware it's very spicy but also really good. A little bit goes a long way so don't be heavy handed with the product... 10/10
