Our Ideology
Every single ingredient used in Indian recipes has one or more nutritional value and if combined in balanced proportions and processed in right methods, provide us with true health benefits. Food products manufactured in bulk through mechanized process often miss these ratios and when consumed, cause health imbalances. For example, adding higher proportions of coriander seeds / turmeric / chillis in masala powders to make the product concentrated and colorful would adversely impact the digestive system. Similarly, low quality ingredients, preservatives, food colors, taste enhancers and artificial flavors cause irreparable damage to the body. Mekira’s Balanced Blends, as the name denotes is all about proportionate mix of 100% natural food ingredients processed in perfectly guided methods to attain optimum taste while retaining their nutritional benefits.

Whole Grains and Millets
Whole-grain foods are good choices for a nutritious diet which provide fibre, vitamins A, E and B Complex, minerals Iron, Magnesium and Phosphorus and other nutrients. Whole-grain foods help control of blood sugar, cholesterol levels, weight and blood pressure. These foods also help lower the risk of diabetes, heart disease and other conditions.

Eating a variety of whole grains ensures that we get more nutrients, making our meal interesting. WE offer high quality millet and cereals in the form of whole flours, and value-added products.
Pulses, Nuts and Seeds
Replacing the meat with pulses is a great way to eat less saturated fat, manage weight and a healthy digestive system. Pulses, seeds and nuts are all valuable sources of protein as well as being low in saturated fat, sodium and also cholesterol free. They are good sources of fibre, complex carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals including B1, B2 and B3, folate, calcium, potassium, iron and phosphorus. Pulses are absorbed relatively slowly into the blood stream and do not cause sudden increases in glucose blood levels. Research shows that people who regularly eat nuts have a decreased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. OUR powders are enriched with pulses, nuts and seeds with all the said nutritional values.
Herbs and Spices
Spices and herbs have been in use for centuries both for culinary and medicinal purposes. They not only enhance the taste, aroma, and colour of food and beverages, but can also protect us from diseases. There is ample evidence that spices and herbs possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumorigenic, anticarcinogenic, anti-depressant and cholesterol-lowering properties. Parsley, lemon-grass, turmeric, ginger, clove, cinnamon, cumin, pepper, chilly, cardamom, ajwain and so on are the power houses of essential nutrients that greatly benefit the body.
