In traditional Indian households, food was always close to nature—minimally processed, freshly ground, and thoughtfully prepared. Over time, modern processing stripped food of its natural goodness, replacing nutrition with convenience. Today, people are once again returning to unpolished, natural, and chemical-free foods, and for good reason.
What Does “Unpolished & Natural” Really Mean?
Unpolished and natural foods are those that:
- Are not chemically treated
- Retain their natural fiber and nutrients
- Undergo minimal processing
- Preserve original taste, aroma, and color
At Mahaveer Foods, we believe food should remain as close to its natural form as possible.
Benefits of Unpolished Pulses & Legumes
Unpolished dals like Urad, Hara Moong, Masoor, Arhar, and Chana Dal retain their outer bran layer, which is often removed during polishing.
Health benefits include:
- Higher dietary fiber for better digestion
- Lower glycemic index (good for diabetics)
- Improved gut health
- Sustained energy release
Unlike polished dals, unpolished pulses support long-term wellness instead of quick spikes in energy.
Natural Ghee & Oils – Fat the Right Way
Traditional fats were never the enemy. The problem began when refined oils replaced natural alternatives.
Natural ghee and traditionally processed oils:
- Support brain and heart health
- Improve nutrient absorption
- Enhance flavor in everyday cooking
Used in moderation, these fats are essential for balanced nutrition.
Why Natural Foods Are Making a Comeback
- Increased lifestyle diseases
- Awareness about food adulteration
- Desire for clean-label products
- Trust in traditional wisdom
Mahaveer Foods focuses on sourcing and processing food the way our elders trusted.
Final Thoughts
Eating natural is not a trend—it’s a return to balance. Choosing unpolished pulses, natural fats, and minimally processed foods is one of the simplest ways to improve daily health.
