5 Compelling Reasons to Choose, Natural, Ready-to-Eat Meals

Too tired to cook? No bandwidth to find healthy eating options? Feeling
overwhelmed by too many contradictory nutritional facts? We got you. A fast-paced
life is a demanding life, where convenience and ease often trump health and
nutrition. We felt this too, and that’s why we created Indic Roots – to enjoy the best
of both worlds! Move over traditional convenience food, and say hello to Natural
Ready to Eat Food. Packed with flavours and nutrition, these healthy meal options
are transforming kitchens worldwide with their blend of convenience and well-being.

Here's why Natural, Ready-to-Eat Food is a great option for your day-to-day meal
fixes:

1. Convenience without compromise:
Ready-to-cook meals eliminate the need for chopping, peeling, and
marinating. But that doesn’t mean they are not nutritious. Our products are
made with a careful selection of natural ingredients such as protein-packed
lentils and chickpeas, nutrient-rich sattu and millets, and much more. These
are slow-cooked to perfection in small batches by our chefs before being
freeze-dried for packaging. So, you can opt for nutritious meals that are super
easy to prep and consume.

2. Freshness you can trust:
Speaking of freeze-drying, let us tell you how this food technology is
revolutionising how we eat. When we started crafting our products, our goal
was to ensure healthy meal options that are a far cry from typical packaged
food. Freeze dry technology removes 99% of water content while locking in
97% of the nutrients, preserving authentic flavours and maintaining the
nutritional value of each dish. This breakthrough tech allows us to deliver
meals that are as good as fresh, making it easier than ever to enjoy healthy,
home-style cooking with minimal effort!

3. A healthier alternative:
Traditional convenience foods are loaded with trans fats, refined sugars and
sodium. Natural ready-to-eat food, however, prioritizes whole foods, healthy
fats and balanced nutrition. Our product range keeps this in mind with options
that cover high-protein, low-carb meals and complex grains. Such as the toor
dal and moong dal khichdi that provides a valuable source of plant-based
protein, ideal for vegetarians and anyone seeking a balanced diet. Or the sattu and
green peas soup – packed with fiber and protein.

4. No hidden ingredients: Natural ready to eat products clearly list all ingredients,
so you know exactly what you’re putting into your body. At Indic Roots, we
have cultivated a strong reputation for adhering to a clean-label philosophy,
ensuring that our packaging is designed with simplicity and transparency. Our
ingredient lists are easy to understand, free from hidden jargon or vague
terms, so you can make informed choices with confidence. When we say no preservatives and additives, we mean it. Freeze-drying ensures that our
natural ingredients maintain their integrity, so what you see is truly what you
get!

5. Long shelf life: Thanks to advanced technologies like super dehydration and
sublimation, ready to eat food now boasts an impressive shelf life without
sacrificing quality or nutrition. By removing 99% of water content, freeze-
drying prevents spoilage while locking in freshness and nutrient value. This
not only extends shelf life but also eliminates the need for artificial
preservatives. So you can stock up on wholesome, healthy meal options
without worrying about them going bad.

Opting for natural, ready to eat food is more than just a lifestyle choice – it’s a step
towards smarter eating. While there is an inherent warmth and comfort in good food
made at home, unfortunately most of us don’t have the luxury of creating our meals
from scratch, especially with many Indian dishes requiring slow cooking techniques.
So let convenience not become a hindrance in choosing quality.

The next time you are meal prepping for a hectic week, or planning a long-haul trip,
or simply not in the mood to labour over a hot stove, choose wisely. Find clean-label
brands that use only wholesome natural ingredients without vague terminology.
Read up about ingredients and food technology that’s making ready to eat food
healthier and tastier. Choose products that offer a healthy mix of proteins, carbs and
fibre for a balanced meal option. And most of all, keep in mind that ready to eat does
not mean compromising on quality, nutrition or flavour. After all, convenience should
come with no compromise!
