Your Impact

Health impact

By now, the benefits of organic food to human and environmental health are well known. By adopting an organic diet, we safeguard our bodies against the many toxic chemicals used in agriculture, and ensure that the food we eat is tastier, safer, and far richer in nutrients.

Environmental impact

Going organic is also an important step to trigger a cycle of sustainability that protects the soil's fertility and keeps water bodies free from chemical pollution. In short, it is one of the best steps we can take to ensure that our future generation has access to safe natural resources and good, healthy food.

Social impact

By being part of the organic food revolution, you give thousands of rural farmers a reason to move away from poisonous chemical inputs. When they have a steady, reliable market for their products, it becomes economically viable for more and more Indian farmers to adopt the organic way that uses natural manures and plantbased pesticides, keeping them and their farms safe.

Chana dal or Bengal Gram is one of the earliest cultivated legumes and forms an important part of the Indian diet because of its high protein content. Chana dal is hulled and split to give a pale yellow dal with a nutty aroma, making it a favourite among Indian chefs. The split yellow gram dal is further pulverized to form gram flour or besan. Chana dal is low in fat and high in protein.
