Q: What does “stone-ground” flour mean?
Slow milling on stones; less heat, better aroma, fibre, and natural oils.
Q: What does “wood-pressed” (cold-pressed) oil mean?
Seeds/nuts are pressed slowly in a wooden ghani; low heat keeps flavour and nutrients.
Q: What are “unpolished” millets?
Grains kept close to natural bran and micronutrients intact; fuller taste, better satiety.
Q: Are your products additive-free?
Yes. No added colours, flavours, preservatives, or fillers.
Q: Are your spices stronger than regular?
Often yes, stone-ground and sun-dried means more aroma. Start with a little less, and add as per required.
Q: Are products made fresh?
Yes. We mill/press/grind to order. Dispatch may take 2–3 extra days so you get peak freshness.
Q: Do you fortify or bleach flours?
No. We keep labels clean. If we fortify a product in future, it will be clearly mentioned.
Q: Do you offer organic options?
Select lines may be organic (when certified). We show the relevant logo/cert number on that product page.
Q: Tips for soft rotis with millet flours?
Use warm water, rest dough 10–15 minutes, cook on medium heat. Blend flours if needed for pliability.
Q: Which oil for what?
- Groundnut: everyday tadka/stir-fries
- Mustard: pungent curries, pickles
- Sesame: winter cooking, dressings
- Coconut: South Indian dishes, baking
Q: Do I need to worry about smoke points?
Cook on moderate heat for best taste and nutrition.
Q: How to store flours, grains, spices?
Airtight jars, cool & dry place, away from sunlight. In hot/humid weather, may refrigerate flours/spices.
Q: How to store oils?
Cool, dark cabinet. In very hot weather, refrigeration is fine (oil may thicken, normal).
Q: Shelf life?
Best when fresh. Check the pack’s best-by. Stone-ground flours and wood-pressed oils are happiest when used sooner.
Q: Are your millets/flours gluten-free?
Millets like jowar, bajra, ragi and flours like buckwheat, amaranth, water-chestnut, maize are naturally gluten-free. If you have celiac/severe allergy, consult your doctor.
Q: Are these suitable for diabetic/low-GI diets?
Many millets and barley are higher in fibre and may have a lower GI than refined grains. For medical advice, please consult your doctor.
Q: Are your products vegan?
Most staples (grains, flours, oils, spices) are inherently plant-based.
Q: Allergen notes?
Some items (e.g., sesame, groundnut) are allergens. We minimise cross-contact but it cannot be guaranteed zero-risk.
Q: Do you work with NGOs and FPOs?
Yes. We collaborate with NGO partners and FPOs that support marginal and indigenous producer groups with training and organisation.
Q: How does my purchase help?
We commit to fair, predictable buying; partners support training (hygiene, grading, moisture). More value stays at source; you get clean, dependable staples.
Q: What makes you different?
Indigenous sourcing, traditional low-heat processing, clean labels, small batches, and everyday practicality.
Q: Where do you ship?
Pan-India. Delivery time depends on your pin code. Tracking is shared after dispatch.
Q: Dispatch time?
Because we process fresh, add 2–3 days before dispatch for many oils/flours/spices.
Q: Damages or leaks, what to do?
Click photos and contact us within 24 hours. We’ll assist with replacement/refund as per policy.
Q: Subscriptions or repeat orders?
Planned. Meanwhile, you can order in monthly packs or write to us for a custom schedule.
Q: How do I start with millets at home?
Pick one millet per week (e.g., jowar), learn two dishes (roti + upma), repeat. Keep flavours familiar; build slowly.
Q: Why do batches look/taste slightly different?
Small-batch, seasonal foods vary naturally; quality standards remain consistent.
Q: Can I mix millets with other flours?
Absolutely. Many kitchens use ~70% millet + ~30% another flour for softer, pliable rotis.
Q: Simple ways to boost flavour?
Toast spices properly, use a good finishing oil (mustard/sesame/coconut), add lemon/fresh herbs.
Q: Festival/fasting basics?
Popular: buckwheat (kuttu), amaranth (rajgira), water-chestnut (singhada) flours; sesame/coconut oil. Follow your family’s dietary rules.
Q: Any storage must-dos in summer?
Refrigerate flours and ground spices, keep oils in a cool, dark cabinet, and buy smaller packs more often.
