Whole foods, Fab India does stuff something close but at exorbitant prices. The Fab India sun dried tomatoes I bought were downright awful. Maybe other players will discover good quality and natural preservation soon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06373674530670948595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476735626154033128.post-88612042315676997702013-07-04T09:07:57.363+05:302013-07-04T09:07:57.363+05:30Arre talk about packaged food....have you ever tri...Arre talk about packaged food....have you ever tried readymade cardmom powder , ginger , amchoor or garlic powders ? They all have such foul smell that I have no other option but to make my own homemade powders...little time consuming but atleast I know what I am putting in my family's mouth .jayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084974596068545533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476735626154033128.post-8202278144227680882013-07-03T12:42:11.578+05:302013-07-03T12:42:11.578+05:30Yes Kalpana.

I feel if I can do good quality food preservation using natural ways, why not the big players when they have the sophisticated infrastructure. sangeetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091803798460651759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476735626154033128.post-5609772789563616092013-07-03T11:50:31.891+05:302013-07-03T11:50:31.891+05:30Absolutely!

I'm not so sure about big players like Dabur getting involved. I like convenience foods but never use anything with preservatives. Natural sun drying, compoting, jam, sauce or squash making if done correctly does not require any additional chemicals. <br />Great post :)Kalpanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02503951641129389045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476735626154033128.post-66699825101038233792013-07-03T11:38:49.737+05:302013-07-03T11:38:49.737+05:30oh yes Anita.

Quince is not even known to many people in the plains and sour cherries ..yes I want them as well.<br />Pineapples tinned in their own juice is so easy to do, don't know why they don't do it till now. I want them too, esp since I am making a pineapple and peach jam today :-)<br />And yes we need more nut butters not only peanut butter, crunchy or otherwise.<br />Isn't it high time the industry knows what people want? We have been bombarded with products till now.. and then a 'need' is created through TV ads.sangeetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091803798460651759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476735626154033128.post-54913437476298239802013-07-03T10:14:39.943+05:302013-07-03T10:14:39.943+05:30You are so right.
