Swadesi Way’s Amaranth Grains are harvested from the pristine high-altitude fields of the Uttarkashi valley in Uttarakhand. Known locally as Rajgira, this ancient pseudo-grain is cherished for its exceptional nutritional value, nutty flavor, and easy digestibility.
Naturally gluten-free and rich in protein, fiber, and essential micronutrients, Amaranth is a versatile grain suited for both everyday meals and fasting diets.
Farm to Plate Journey
Swadesi Way’s Rajgira is grown with care by the Trishuli Producer Company Limited, a collective of dedicated small farmers from the Uttarkashi valley region of Uttarakhand. These farmers follow traditional, chemical-free farming practices, staying deeply connected to the rhythms of the land and seasons.
Once harvested, the grains are sun-dried and carefully cleaned within Uttarakhand itself. No chemical treatment, no polishing — just pure, mountain-grown goodness making its way from farm to your plate.
