Description
Long before modern protein shakes and energy bars existed, ancient Indian travelers, warriors, and farmers carried a simple cloth pouch tied to their waists filled with सत्तू (Sattu). Prized for centuries across the heartlands of India as an instant ration, it was the ultimate fuel for long journeys under the scorching sun—needing nothing more than a clay pot of water and a pinch of salt to create a cooling, nourishing meal within seconds.
In today's fast-paced world of processed foods and synthetic fitness supplements, that ancient wisdom is more valuable than ever.

Know Your Maker
Meet the Maker: Varush Singh & Maa Reva Vedic Food
Our Chana Sattu is prepared by Maa Reva Vedic Food, the same maker behind our Desi A2 Cow Ghee. After years living abroad, Varush Singh returned to India with a mission to preserve native cattle breeds and traditional food-making practices. Through Maa Reva Vedic Food, he works to keep these methods alive.
For over ten years, Maa Reva Vedic Food has worked alongside tribal communities in the Kuno region of Madhya Pradesh. This connection to place and traditional food-making is part of the maker's wider story, bringing a known source to the everyday foods we share with you.
Rooted in Tradition, Preserved with Care
Our Sattu Flour starts with whole Bengal gram (kala chana), traditionally roasted and milled into a single-ingredient flour. Its earthy roasted aroma and nutty character make it a familiar addition to drinks, paratha fillings and simple breakfast bowls.
The Challenge of the Sun
As described in our preparation story, the cleaned grains are sun-dried before roasting. This sun-dependent rhythm can make preparation more difficult during monsoon and cloudy months.
Tradition Meets Modern Packaging
To protect the flour after traditional milling, we introduced advanced vacuum-packaging technology. The packaging helps shield it from ambient moisture, oxidation and pests while preserving the preparation method.
This approach helps us make Chana Sattu available to our community year-round, for all 12 months, without changing its traditional roasting technique.

3. Nutrient-Rich Sattu Paratha / Roti
