Coffee

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world, made from roasted seeds of the Coffea plant, commonly known as coffee beans. It’s known for its rich aroma, bold flavor, and stimulating effect due to its natural caffeine content. There are many types of coffee, including Arabica and Robusta, with Arabica being smoother and more aromatic, while Robusta is stronger and more bitter. Coffee can be brewed in various ways—espresso, French press, pour-over, or instant—each offering a unique taste experience. Beyond just a drink, coffee plays a cultural role globally, fueling morning routines, social gatherings, and café culture. It also has economic significance, being a major export product for many countries

Chicory

Chicory is a plant whose roots are often roasted, ground, and used as a coffee substitute or additive. It has a naturally earthy, slightly bitter flavor and is caffeine-free, making it a popular alternative for those looking to reduce their caffeine intake. Chicory is commonly blended with coffee—especially in traditional French and South Indian brewing styles—to enhance body and add a smooth, mellow taste. Beyond beverages, chicory root is valued for its high inulin content, a type of prebiotic fiber that supports digestive health. The plant also has edible leaves, often used in salads. Its versatility and health benefits make chicory a valuable ingredient in both culinary and wellness circles

Mango

Mango is a juicy, tropical fruit known for its sweet, aromatic flavor and vibrant yellow-orange flesh. Often referred to as the “king of fruits,” mango is native to South Asia but is now grown in many warm climates around the world. There are hundreds of varieties, each with unique taste, texture, and size—popular ones include Alphonso, Kesar, Haden, and Tommy Atkins. Rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, mangoes are both delicious and nutritious. They’re enjoyed fresh, in smoothies, juices, chutneys, pickles, desserts, and even savory dishes. In many cultures, mango holds symbolic and cultural importance, often associated with prosperity and abundance

Jaggery

Jaggery, in both powder and cube form, is a traditional, unrefined sweetener made from sugarcane juice or palm sap. Unlike refined sugar, jaggery retains essential minerals like iron, magnesium, potassium, and antioxidants, making it a healthier alternative.

• Jaggery powder is finely ground and easy to mix into beverages, sweets, and everyday cooking. It dissolves quickly and is commonly used in Indian cooking, baking, and even health drinks like turmeric milk.

• Jaggery cubes (also called blocks or cakes) are more solid and are often used in traditional recipes, particularly for sweets like chikki, pongal, or payasam. They can be grated or melted into syrups as needed.
