Founded in 2019, Joon Modern Specialty Gourmet is a family-owned specialty food company inspired by exceptional ingredients, rich culinary traditions, and the belief that great flavor and good nutrition belong together. Since its founding, Joon has grown around a simple mission: to make distinctive specialty ingredients approachable, versatile, and easy to enjoy in everyday cooking. The JOON MODERN SPECIALTY GOURMET trademark has also been federally registered, marking an important milestone in the brand’s continued growth.
At the heart of Joon are ingredients such as pomegranate, sumac, and saffron, each valued for its distinctive flavor, culinary history, and naturally occurring plant compounds. Pomegranate is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, sumac contains antioxidant-rich plant compounds and offers vibrant flavor as a flavorful alternative to salt, and saffron is prized for its unique bioactive compounds and culinary versatility. Together, these ingredients bring color, flavor, nutrition, and a touch of nature’s goodness to everyday cooking.
Part of Joon’s mission is to explore the American history of these ingredients, celebrating the people, traditions, and culinary influences that have shaped their place in kitchens across America. This exploration is also being developed through an upcoming cookbook featuring recipes and the American journey of these distinctive ingredients.
Joon grew from a passion for creating foods that are both wholesome and delicious, guided by the belief that nutrition is the foundation of every quality packaged food. This philosophy shapes Joon’s commitment to quality, nutrition, and carefully selected ingredients suited to modern culinary applications and family recipes.
Our products are handcrafted in small batches under kosher supervision in a licensed commercial kitchen. Made with carefully selected ingredients, they contain no added preservatives or artificial additives. Natural, wholesome, and ready to use, they are designed to bring exceptional flavor, nutrition, and quality to everyday meals, whether enjoyed as condiments or incorporated into favorite recipes.
Looking ahead, Joon continues to expand its collection with innovative specialty foods, infused raw honey, sauces, spice blends, and other thoughtfully crafted products. Our goal is to inspire gourmet food lovers, adventurous home cooks, and health-conscious consumers to discover new flavors and make extraordinary ingredients a natural part of everyday cooking.
