Ancient Mountain Nutrition
Karnali Native Amaranth (लट्टे)
Revered for centuries across the Himalayas, Amaranth—locally known as Latte or Rajgira—is one of nature’s most complete plant-based proteins. Grown organically by mountain farming communities in Karnali, our amaranth seeds thrive in mineral-dense mountain soil and pristine alpine air, free from synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Unlike refined commercial grains, our Amaranth is 100% unpolished, preserving the outer germ and bran layer. It is an exceptional dietary staple for sustained energy, gut health, and bone strength.
