“People are fed by the food industry, which ignores health, and treated by the health industry, which ignores food.” — Wendell Berry.
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” — Hippocrates.
Nine years ago, on March 21, 2015, I embarked on a journey driven by my passion for natural, chemical-free food. This marked the beginning of JaivikFood.com, when we received our first batch of organic vegetables from Uttarakhand, delivered via a night bus. Today, we source fresh fruits and vegetables from hundreds of organic and natural farmers across India. Although logistics still pose significant challenges in terms of cost and effort, a simple note of appreciation from our customers makes all the hard work worthwhile, as we strive to deliver pure food every week.
Throughout this journey, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting incredible people from various backgrounds, including farmers, traders, teachers, transporters, vendors, marketers, and, most importantly, our customers. It brings me great joy when farmers adopt more environmentally friendly techniques using natural products like cow dung, urine, and herbs, which are even better for the environment than organic farming. We are proud to promote forgotten varieties such as Kalanamak Buddha Rice, Khapli (an ancient wheat variety), Dehraduni Basmati Rice, millets, and indigenous varieties of bananas like Yellaki and Red Bananas from South India.
Each interaction has taught me something new and strengthened my belief that food should be grown with care and without harmful chemicals. Naturally grown food truly works better than medicine.
There are many misconceptions about food, and consumers need to understand what is truly beneficial for them. To maintain good health, you don’t need “superfoods” (a term often used to market imported products) but rather indigenous foods like millets and forgotten grains, which our ancestors thrived on. While it’s fine to explore new foods for specific health benefits, we shouldn’t abandon the traditional staples that our parents and grandparents lived on. For decades, the industry told us to avoid ghee, butter, and oils, promoting expensive refined and imported oils instead. Now, it’s been proven that Desi Cow’s Ghee, mustard oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, and peanut oil are the best choices for Indians.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who has supported JaivikFood throughout this journey. While we continue to improve our services and products, we remain committed to offering pure, chemical-free food. We also seek the blessings of Padm Shree Subhash Palekarji as we support farmers practicing his environmentally friendly Subhash Palekar Kheti (SPK) techniques.”

Use any raw or little bit semi ripe mangoes depending upon how sour or sweet u need. Add Saunf, Methi, Sarson seeds and few black pepper whole in hot mustard oil. Once ready , add cut pieces and stone of the raw mangoes, add black salt , normal salt, turmeric, red chilli powder and cook for a while. Add small amount of jaggery powder or sugar as per taste. Add little water if you like gravy and let it come to boil and then it’s ready. It can stay in fridge for 5-7 days.

Not only Andhra Pradesh tops the chart with Uttar Pradesh in total production of Mangoes but also is known for premium varieties of mangoes. JaivikFood takes pride is supporting farmers following SPNF farming techniques without synthetic chemicals and marketing these exclusive varieties of mangoes in Delhi NCR since 2015.
Summer may sound harsh , specially in Delhi but its the time of year when you get plenty of sweet, juicy fruits. Mango is the king of fruits and we still remember our childhood days when all of family members used to gather around a bucket full of mangoes dipped in cold water. That was because the mangoes were ripened at home and when ripe, these were at higher than room temperature. We, at JaivikFood, still follow the traditional way of natural ripening by putting freshly harvested fruits in closed cartons which traps the Ethylene gas released by fruits naturally. In this process , there is some loss of weight due to hydration, the fruits remain greenish yellow and some fruits get spoiled too. However, fruits ripe slowly from inside first and then towards outside. The fruits may look greenish but once the pulp is soft, the complete fruit ripens perfectly and taste amazingly great.
On the other hand, most of the fruits being sold in the market are ripened in gas chambers. This way the fruits turn into perfect yellow colour , pulp is intact, no loss of weight and fruits look attractive. This is beneficial to vendors but not for customers. Many a times, you will find the fruit is sour in taste or hard near the stone. This is because in chamber, it ripens outside first and then towards inside. Such fruits may taste sweet but are dull and have no comparison to naturally ripened fruits.
TRY it for yourself !!!
