Every grocery app is full of packs that say “organic”, “pure” and “farm fresh”. Some of them mean it. Many don't. We started this blog in 2023 because we wanted a straight answer for our own kitchens, and figured other people did too.
How we review
We buy it ourselves. From Amazon, Flipkart, BigBasket, Blinkit or the brand's site, at full price. We never accept free samples.
We cook with it. For at least a week, in everyday dishes, and tasted blind side by side with others.
We check the paperwork. Every organic claim is looked up on India's official organic register and the FSSAI licence lookup.
We score it out of 10. For taste, purity, certification, value and packaging, and we always explain the number in words.
What our scores mean
9 and above: outstanding · 8 to 8.9: excellent · 7 to 7.9: good · 6 to 6.9: fair · below 6: skip it.
Who we are
How we make money
Some of our “where to buy” links are affiliate links. If you buy through one, the shop pays us a small commission, and you pay the same price. We list every shop that stocks a product, including ones that pay us nothing, and we decide our scores before we look at any links.
We don't run ads, we don't publish sponsored posts, and brands can't pay to be reviewed or to see a review early.
