It’s a pop culture tradition we love – Oprah’s Favorite Things! Oprah herself and a panel of judges, test and try products all year around. Come December, a carefully curated list hits the web and more often than not, products on this coveted list become hot commodities and sell out in the holiday shopping season. This year, among the honorable mentions, are a few Desi products within the Foodie Finds. Maybe in 2020 we’ll see our community vendors popping up in tech and fashion too.
Check out the 3 desi finds on Oprah’s Favorite Things 2019 list.
