May is here, and that means it’s time to celebrate flavor, family, and heritage — the heart of everything we do at Zindrew.
Growing up, a jar of crunchy garlic chili oil was always within reach.It wasn't just about adding heat, it was about adding a piece of home to every meal.
That tradition is why Zindrew exists today.
This AAPI Heritage Month, we’re honoring the flavors and stories that raised us, and sharing a few of our favorite ways to celebrate.

Support AAPI-Owned Small Businesses
When you shop from Asian American-owned brands, you’re doing more than just picking up something delicious, you’re helping preserve generations of culture, hustle, and passion.
Whether it’s a food brand, a boutique, a restaurant, or a pop-up, every purchase makes a difference.
(Psst: With any purchase, Zindrew is giving away a free travel size keychain. Just add the travel size to your cart and use code AAPI2025 at checkout!)
Eat the Food - and Learn the Stories Behind It
Asian food isn’t just crave-worthy, it's also packed with history.
From handmade wontons to spicy garlic chili oil to steaming bowls of noodles, every dish carries a story about migration, resilience, and celebration.
This month, dig a little deeper:
- Ask your favorite restaurant owners about their family's dishes.
- Try making a dish you grew up loving but never learned to cook.
- Or come by one of our May markets and try our handmade wontons — crafted with that same love and tradition.

Share the Flavors You Love
Celebrating heritage isn’t just about keeping it close — it’s about sharing it
- Host a dinner.
- Gift a jar of Zindrew oil.
- Tell the story of the dish your grandma used to make.
- Send your favorite Asian-owned products to a friend who’s never tried them.
Flavor is a bridge.
It’s an invitation.
And it’s one of the best ways to keep culture alive.
Every jar of Zindrew’s OG and X Batch oil is a little piece of our story.
Thank you for letting us share it with you.
This May (and every month), we’re proud to represent our roots, our flavors, and our community.
