FAQ
What is the meaning behind the name "Sattvic Foods"?
According to Ayurveda & Yoga, there are 3 basic gunas or qualities Sattva, Rajas and Tamas and the diets containing these foods are accordingly names Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic.
Foods that are strong in the Sattva element, lead to clarity and equanimity of mind while also being beneficial to the body. This is the basic principle behind Sattvic Foods, to provide you a convenient way to consume foods that have a net positive impact on your health and pranic energy.
Rajasic and Tamasic Foods have little or no benefit to the body and can include products like fast foods, meats, soft drinks, etc.
Why aren't you Organic?
Not everything that is Organic is Healthy and not everything that is Healthy has to be Organic. It is true that the term Organic is associated with high quality, but nowadays the term Organic is used very loosely.
To be Organic requires certification and proof at all levels of handling. Right from proof that environmentally and animal friendly methods were used on the farm, followed by handling, packaging and transportation all in an Organic way.
All this is just before the food production begins.
