Flaxseed (javas in Marathi) is a well-known superfood. Our Omega 3-rich Flaxseed Chutney goes well with Ghaavan and Dhirde (crepes), Jowar Bhakri (sorghum roti), Poli Bhaaji (roti sabzi) or Varan Bhaat (dal rice). A delicious way of including flaxseeds that are rich in Omega-3, dietary fiber and lignans, into your diet, this dry chutney amps up the nutritional value of a homely meal.
Provenance
Flaxseed Chutney (javasachi chutney) is popular in vegetarian Maharashtrian households as a rich source of Omega-3, otherwise found only in fish. With its high lignin content, regular consumption of javas or flaxseed helps lower the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis and menopausal symptoms. It is also effective in controlling blood sugar levels.
About The Seller
Like many determined women we know, Pratibha Pradip Ghogare kicked off her entrepreneurial journey despite her husband’s wishes, when she started selling homemade spice mixes and chutneys to tide over financial difficulties. After receiving unanimous praise from all quarters, she founded Traimurti SHG in 2017 with an aim to increase the income of a collective of motivated women. Whilst continuing their own production, they also sell products collated from five different self-help groups. In a rare show of solidarity, the groups have entered into a mutually beneficial agreement of retaining exclusivity in their products, ensuring they contribute to each other’s success so the entire sisterhood prospers!
