India's Healthy Diet Affordability Crisis

The average urban Indian household doesn't have time to: - Research which nuts and seeds provide which nutrients - Source high-quality ingredients from reliable suppliers - Measure optimal daily quantities - Prepare separate morning soaked and evening roasted portions - Maintain this routine consistently for months This is the gap that pre-portioned nutrition systems address.
