"In every spoonful, the essence of tradition meets modern nutrition—a harmony that exists in nature's finest ingredients."
The Story Behind Saaja Foods
Saaja Foods was born from a simple yet powerful idea – take the comfort of classic nut butters and infuse them with the warmth, spice, and nostalgia of South Asia. Every jar is roasted in small batches, stone-ground for a naturally creamy texture, and finished with thoughtfully sourced spices that tell a story.
We obsess over roast curves, the origin of our nuts, and the delicate balance of sweetness and salt so that you don't have to. Whether you stir it into your morning oats, drizzle it over warm toast, or eat it straight from the spoon – we won't judge. In fact, we encourage it.
Our flavors – from Chai Almond Swirl to Cocoa Crunch Peanut Butter – are inspired by chai stalls, mithai shops, and late-night kitchen experiments that turned into something magical. Vegan-friendly, palm-oil free, and crafted with care, Saaja is our love letter to familiar flavors reimagined for the modern pantry.
Our Craft
Sourcing with Intent
We partner with trusted suppliers who share our values – sourcing premium nuts and spices that meet our exacting standards for quality and sustainability.
Small-Batch Roasting
Each batch is meticulously roasted to unlock deep, complex flavors. We monitor temperature and time down to the minute, ensuring peak freshness and that signature crunch-to-cream transformation.
Stone-Ground Perfection
Traditional stone-grinding gives our nut butters their silky, spreadable texture. No emulsifiers, no stabilizers – just pure, natural goodness with a little oil separation on top (that's how you know it's real).
What We Stand For
100% Plant-Based
Vegan-friendly and cruelty-free. Our nut butters are crafted without any animal products or testing.
No Palm Oil, Ever
We believe in sustainable choices. That's why we never use palm oil, protecting rainforests and wildlife habitats.
Minimal Processing
No artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. Just nuts, spices, a touch of sweetness, and a pinch of salt.
Made in India
Proudly crafted in small batches right here in India, supporting local communities and celebrating regional flavors.
Meet the Founders
The hearts and hands behind Saaja Foods
Garvika Bansal
Co-Founder
Born into a family of halwais, Garvika grew up surrounded by the aromas of traditional Indian sweets and the artistry of handcrafted food. Food wasn't just sustenance – it was heritage, celebration, and love.
Life took her down the corporate path, where long hours and convenience became the norm. But somewhere between boardroom meetings and takeout dinners, she realized something fundamental: quality of life isn't about doing more – it's about honoring your body with the right recipe of food, workout, and sleep.
A born foodie turned health enthusiast, Garvika began her journey back to the roots – asking not just "what tastes good?" but "what feels right?" She learned that the two aren't opposites. Real ingredients, made with care, deliver both flavor and nourishment.
Today, Garvika is on a mission to make "eating right, living better" accessible to everyone, navigating the same balance she found – between work and family, tradition and wellness, taste and health. Saaja Foods is her answer: pure ingredients, honest flavors, and food that honors the body.
She's still learning, still evolving, and committed to doing better each day – one ingredient at a time.
