Hemp Seed Chutney Premix 150g

Description

Tired of Chutneys That Come From a Factory?

Most store-bought chutneys arrive in colourful packets loaded with flavour enhancers, stabilisers, and ingredients you cannot pronounce. The taste is uniform. The origins, invisible. The nutrition, questionable. And somewhere along the way, the soulful art of a slow-roasted, hand-ground chutney was quietly lost.

What if you could bring back that flavour — honest, grounded, mountain-born — in minutes at home?

The Hemp Seed Chutney Premix from Fyonli is a traditional Garhwali condiment blend made exactly as village households have always made it: stone-roasted seeds, whole spices, and nothing else. Rooted in the kitchens of Devprayag, Tehri Garhwal, this premix is crafted by women self-help groups using time-honoured methods passed down through generations.

Introducing the Fyonli Hemp Seed Chutney Premix

The Fyonli Hemp Seed Chutney Premix is a 150g blend of seven carefully chosen ingredients — hemp seeds, sesame seeds, perilla seeds (bhangjeera), dry red chilli, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and rock salt. Together they create a chutney that is earthy, slightly spicy, deeply nutty, and unmistakably Pahadi.

With approximately 18g of protein per 100g, this is not just a condiment — it is a nutrition-dense companion to every meal. Sourced directly from small-holder mountain farmers at elevations between 1,200 and 2,400 metres in Uttarakhand, every ingredient in this premix carries the clean character of Himalayan growing conditions.

Why This Hemp Seed Chutney Premix Works

• High plant protein — Hemp seeds deliver approximately 18g of protein per 100g, making this chutney a meaningful nutritional addition to any meal.
• Complete amino acid profile — Hemp seeds are one of the rare plant sources that contain all nine essential amino acids, including edestin and albumin.
• Omega-rich seeds — Hemp, sesame, and perilla seeds together provide omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in a naturally balanced ratio.
• Perilla (Bhangjeera) for gut health — A traditional Himalayan ingredient rich in rosmarinic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, known to support digestion and reduce inflammation.
• Sesame for bone and heart support — Stone-roasted sesame seeds are a source of calcium, magnesium, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
• Zero additives — No artificial flavours, no preservatives, no salt beyond the rock salt already in the blend. Clean, readable ingredients.
• Altitude advantage — Grown between 1,200–2,400m in Tehri Garhwal, the ingredients develop stronger phytonutrient profiles due to harsher mountain conditions and clean air.
• Village-crafted — Made by women self-help groups in Devprayag using traditional stone-roasting methods, preserving both flavour and nutritional integrity.
• Versatile — Use as a quick chutney with warm water, a base for garlic-chilli dips, a topping for rice and dal, or a nutritious seasoning over salads and soups.

What’s Inside

Hemp Seeds (Bhanga Beej) — The star of this premix. Sourced from the mountain farms of Tehri Garhwal, these hemp seeds are food-grade, hulled, and stone-roasted. They deliver a rich, slightly nutty flavour and are dense in plant protein, omega fatty acids, and fibre. Hemp seeds used in this blend are non-psychoactive — they contain no THC and are fully compliant with Indian food law.

Sesame Seeds — Slow-roasted to coax out their natural oils, sesame seeds bring warmth and depth to this chutney. They are a traditional Pahadi staple, prized for their calcium content, healthy fats, and the distinctive toasty note they add to any blend.

Perilla Seeds (Bhangjeera) — Called bhangjeera in the Garhwali hills, perilla is a wild-harvested seed used in mountain kitchens for centuries. It has a distinctive earthy, slightly peppery character and is one of the richest plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid. Perilla is also used in traditional Ayurvedic practice to support respiratory health and digestion.

Dry Red Chilli — Mountain chillies dried in the Himalayan sun lend a clean, bright heat to the chutney — not the artificial pungency of processed chilli powder. They also carry capsaicin, which supports metabolism and circulation.

Cumin Seeds — A cornerstone of Indian cooking, cumin here plays a foundational aromatic role. Its essential oils support digestion, and its slightly smoky flavour grounds the blend beautifully.

Mustard Seeds — Tiny but bold. Mustard seeds bring a sharp, pungent kick that lifts the entire blend and supports gut motility. They are a natural source of selenium and omega-3 fatty acids.

Rock Salt (Sendha Namak) — Himalayan rock salt is the only seasoning in this blend — minimally processed, naturally mineral-rich, and far gentler than refined table salt.

How to Use

Classic Pahadi Chutney: Combine 2–3 tablespoons of the premix with 3–4 tablespoons of warm water. Mix well, rest for 2 minutes, and serve alongside roti, rice, dal, or steamed vegetables. Simple. Honest. Ready in under 5 minutes.

Garlic-Lemon Chutney: For a deeper, richer version, grind the premix with 2–3 cloves of garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, and enough water to form a thick paste. This version is especially good with kebabs, grilled paneer, or as a spread on whole wheat flatbreads.

Protein-Rich Seasoning: Sprinkle the dry premix directly over a bowl of curd (yogurt), dal, or salad for a nutty, spiced topping. This is a quick way to add flavour and extra protein to a simple meal without any preparation.

Soup or Stew Base: Stir one tablespoon of the premix into a tomato or mixed-vegetable soup while it simmers. The hemp and sesame seeds add a creamy body to the broth while the spices deepen the flavour profile.

Why Fyonli Is Different

Fyonli works directly with small-holder farmers and women self-help groups in Devprayag, Tehri Garhwal — a region that sits at the confluence of the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers, where the air is clean, the soil is mineral-rich, and traditional farming has continued unbroken for centuries. There are no large warehouses here, no industrial supply chains, no middlemen extracting margin at every step.

When hemp seeds and perilla (bhangjeera) are grown at elevations between 1,200 and 2,400 metres in these conditions, they develop denser nutrient profiles than lowland crops. Shorter growing seasons and colder nights force the plants to produce more concentrated oils, proteins, and protective phytochemicals. That is the altitude advantage — and it is built into every batch of this chutney premix.

The seeds in this blend are stone-roasted in small batches by women’s collectives in the village. Cold or low-heat processing preserves the fragile omega fatty acids in hemp and perilla, retaining what industrial high-heat roasting would destroy. The result is a product that is simultaneously traditional in method and genuinely superior in nutrition.
