Say NO to artificial colours and artificial flavourings with us _______ At The Organic World, we offer the largest variety of organic and natural groceries under one roof. Our focus is to give our customers a ‘better choices’ range with a curated line up of healthier products whether it is organic, natural, pesticide-free or toxin-free. And what sets our range apart from other retailers is that our entire assortment of products is defined by our industry-first Not In Our Aisle List – a list of 25 (and growing chemicals/ingredients) that we have banned from our stores because studies have suggested that they could be harmful for you. Two such ingredients are Artificial Colours & Artificial Flavorings - something that you are quite likely to find in conventional Christmas bakes that you see in most regular grocery stores and supermarkets! Artificial flavours - What is it? Artificial colours are a mix of various chemicals designed to mimic the taste of other foods. It is commonly found in most packaged foods and snacks. What are the possible side effects? While there are no reliable human studies as yet, animal studies have found synthetic flavours could have adverse effects on their health. Artificial colours - What is it? Artificial colours are food additives derived from synthetic processes. They are used in various food items to provide or enhance colors. What are the possible side effects? Some studies have suggested a link between artificial colours and increased hyperactivity in children. At The Organic World, you won’t find trans fat or high fructose corn syrup in any of our food products. So whether it is your cake mixes to bake your Christmas cakes or dry fruits to add to your desserts, be rest assured that there will be no artificial flavorings or artificial colours.
With the number of Covid 19 cases coming down, offices across the country are slowly opening up. And in the familiar rush to get to office on time - yes, the traffic in Bengaluru is back as well - breakfast often gets compromised. Here’s why it shouldn’t be so! Getting in a good breakfast in the morning is essential to kick your metabolism into gear, boost your energy levels and get you ready for the day ahead. The problem that most people cite is convenience - ‘I don’t have the time to cook breakfast in the morning’, is the most common complaint. Does this mean that unhealthy on-the go options are your only choice? No! At The Organic World, we offer a whole host of breakfast options to get your day started on the right note!
SMOOTHIES Your breakfast in a glass! Add your favourite greens, veggies, fruits, dairy of your choice. Blitz in a blender, top with some honey and seeds and you are set! SANDWICHES Easily one of our favourite breakfast options! All you need is a couple of slices of your favorite bread - we offer sourdough as well as several whole wheat bread options. ALl you need to do is toast the slices and slather on a topping of your choice. We especially love avocado slices, sprinkled with salt and pepper and seeds. IDLIS & DOSAS Make darshini style idlis and dosas at home with our ready-to-use, organic certified batter. Our idli and dosa batters are completely chemical- and preservative-free. Shudh Idli & Dosa Batter, Wellbe Idli Rice, Wellbe Urad Dal EGGS We can’t think of a better breakfast option than eggs. Boiled, sunny side up, scrambled or an omelette? Or perhaps a French toast drizzled with honey? Whatever you prefer, our freerange eggs are just what you need to make them. MUESLI, OATS, GRANOLA This is probably the No. 1 breakfast choice for most office goers and we are not surprised. All you need to do is pour out the muesli in a bowl, add milk or yogurt, top with fruits and you are set. Wellbe’s breakfast range of muesli and cornflakes is free of maida and refined sugar - a healthy and delicious breakfast option awaits! PANCAKES Loved by children and adults alike!

THE BAKER’S DOZEN: We started The Baker’s Dozen in 2013 with our love for sourdough, the pate ferment, and the culture of what makes a bread sing. We wanted to learn and perfect the art of sourdough and share this love with our fellow Mumbaikars. We started this company with 4 bakers who knew nothing other than the fact that we were going to learn and love our sourdough. We had a small kitchen in Dadar and sold it from a store in Prabhadevi. On our first commercial day of production, we hand crafted 25 loaves of bread and we were so happy and proud. Today, almost 8 years later, we hand shape more than 10,000 loaves of bread a day and share our most loved creations with all of India.

Winter is around the corner, which means temperatures will drop, the air will get drier, and of course - dry skin woes will begin! During winter, as temperatures drop, your skin tends to lose its natural oils and become flaky and dry. Here are our top tips to banish winter skin woes.
USE LUKEWARM WATER During winter months, there is always the tendency to use hot water. Use lukewarm water instead as hot water may dry your skin.
EXFOLIATION Don’t forget to exfoliate, using a loofah with a gentle scrub. But always moisturise post exfoliation otherwise your skin can get dry and flaky.
MOISTURISE ALWAYS Apply moisturizer after a bath to prevent your skin from getting dry and flaky. Because of the weather change there’s a loss of water or hydration from the skin’s surface, this leads to dehydration, appearance of fine lines and sensitivity in the skin. If you have dry skin your skin is only going to get drier in the winter. If you have oily skin it’s going to be less oily and more normal during the winter season.
WARM OIL MASSAGE Warm oil massages are an age-old tradition in India. In winter applying warm oil to the entire body once a week leaving it on for 20 to 30 minutes and then showering with lukewarm water helps the skin get the extra nourishment that it needs. Apply cold pressed virgin coconut oil or almond oil or olive oil.
CLEANSING Stick to your skincare routine, but make sure you use the appropriate products. Use a softer/ milder cleansing agent. Your cleanser should ideally be free of ingredients like parabens and sulfates that can dry your skin out further. Use ones made with natural or organic ingredients.
DON’T FORGET TO USE YOUR SUNSCREEN Sunscreen is a must, even in winter. The reason is that even though it is less sunny, 80% of the UV radiation still gets through and this can harm your skin. Don’t forget an SPF of at least 30 and above to be used on a daily basis. HANDS ON Don’t ignore your hands - especially your palms and elbows. Make sure you apply your moisturiser regularly. FEET FORWARD Exfoliate your feet occasionally to remove the dead skin. Apply a thick foot cream or petroleum jelly and wear socks to keep the skin on your feet soft and supple! _____________ *Get all your winter skincare essentials, free of harmful chemicals like parabens, sulfates and phthalates at The Organic World

I happen to be the first Piloxing ®️ Master Trainer in India. Coming from an Army background, that’s the source from where I get my discipline, determination & dedication as part of my personality. I believe that when passion and skill work together, the end result is often a masterpiece. Not to forget, I am a Bengali and Bengalis are known to be fun loving. I am the Rowdy Baby - even my 8-year-old son is more patient and polite and mature and reminds me that I am the mom.
Masala Powders
I realized the importance of fitness and wellness after I became a mother. I already had a few medical conditions during my corporate days, but post delivery with Caesarean, lack of self care led to various other medical issues. I was 51 kgs before pregnancy and post pregnancy 82 kgs. Motivation was lacking and excuses piled up. But the sooner you realize the better it is. I took up my first Zumba training in 2013 with no fitness knowledge or background and I haven’t looked back ever since. I have completed various fitness certifications and training which not only helped me to understand the value of living a fit and healthy lifestyle but also helped me to inspire/help others with the same.
