Of This Superfood 

There's something magical about starting off my mornings with a warm cup of chyawanprash. I take a modest teaspoon of this dense herbal paste, pour some steaming water over it, and smell the earthy tones. Rich in antioxidants, adaptogens and warming spices, it has a grounding effect on me, calming to the stress of yesterday, while invigorating today with a vibrant sense of focus and calm energy.

The Ancient Superfood

According to the ancient wisdom of the science of Ayurveda, traditional chyawanprash is considered a superfood that can be prepared as a food or liquid. Chyawanprash is an herbal recipe creating the ultimate wellness jam, described as deeply nourishing the tender, bringing freedom to their health. The best part, chyawanprash is regarded for fostering harmony and balance to all body types, no matter where you are in your health journey - it’s literally good for everyone!

Rich in Naturally Occurring Vitamin C

Many chyawanprash recipes can often include 50+ herbs and wholefood ingredients making it an easy way to enjoy the health benefits of naturally occurring compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins. In a base of amalaki (amla, also known as indian Gooseberry, is a primary ingredient in AzureWell’s Wholefood C because it is naturally rich with vitamin C), it is often used during seasonal transitions to bolster resilience.  

Source Matters

When choosing a chyawanprash, source matters. Many suppliers use only a few herbs (not the entire original formula) or settle for lower-quality ingredients, which can reduce its benefits. Known for their exceptional standards, Pure Indian Food’s, Chyawanprash, stays true to the original formula using only organic ingredients without any additional additives or unnatural preservatives such as sodium benzoate. Whether you enjoy it by the spoonful, mixed into warm water, or spread on toast, Chyawanprash can be enjoyed in numerous ways, tailored to align with one's individual needs and preferences. Below are some of the most common ways to enjoy.
