Organic Himalayan 2 Bean Salad Pack

ABOUT THE PRODUCT:

Organic Himalayan Salad Bean Pack is an assortment of richly-coloured beans that emerge during manual sorting of rajma at our women-led mountain food processing center. The 2 beans that form this pack are - Purple Chitra Bean & Digital Pixel White Bean. These beans are the perfect ingredients to make a nutritious and pretty salad!

Along with the rajma we pack a 50 gm sachet of Himalayan Chora Pisiloon (pink rock salt ground with organic red chillies and the herb angelica glauca). Pisiloons are the traditional flavoured salts of Uttarakhand, ground on a stone sil-batta. These are sprinkled over rajmas and dals, or boiled potatoes, added to buttermilk or yoghurt, or just grace one little corner of the plate at every meal, to be eaten mixed into rice, or with ghee and rotis. They add a punch of flavour and the goodness of herbs and roots to every meal. They are perfect for your salad!

How to cook?

Soak the beans for 4-5 hours. Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles till the beans are soft but still keep their shape. Add your choice of veggies and dressing, and toss the salad with a pinch of the pisiloon.   

Alternative uses for the beans:

• You can make a 2-bean soup with these beans and pisiloon
• You can make a traditional rajma with these beans and pisiloon

Organic rajma in the upper Tons Valley, Uttarakhand: 

Rajma is one of the staple food crops in our valley. Almost all farmers sow rajma as it is the main source of vegetable protein in our local cuisine. Farmers who have rajma which is surplus to their annual food and seed purpose, sell to earn money. We are supporting these hard working farmers by finding a fair market for their rajma. We pay a fair price that compensates them for growing rajma in remote fields which don't even have access to a road. The harvest has to be brought on mules to the nearest road and the transported to our processing center.

Our rajma is completely organic, grown using only natural compost and cow manure. No inorganic fertilizer or chemical pesticides are used. We are in the process of helping these farmers getting their produce certified organic very soon.
