Why
Eastern Essence®
People
often ask, "What makes Eastern Essence®
taste so good?" They want to know why Eastern
Essence® tastes and feels so much better
than other packaged foods.
The answer is in our commitment to quality.
All Eastern Essence® meals are:
 Completely
organic. Grown and processed without chemical
fertilizers, pesticides or artificial chemicals
of any kind in small farms in India
All Eastern Essence® products are completely
naturally grown on small farms in India using
traditional organic farming techniques. They
are certified organic by the College of Indore
in India, and will shortly have organic certification
recognized by the USDA. Eastern Essence®
has made it part of our mission to support
the continuation and spread of organic farming
in India, which is home to the largest body
of small farmers in the world.
Prepared
according to traditional Indian Ayurvedic
family recipes
Eastern Essence® meals are prepared according
to traditional Indian family recipes based
on the principles of Ayurveda, India's 5,000
year-old holistic science of health. "Ayur"
means life and "Ved" means knowledge. Eastern
Essence® meals are combined with respect
to this ancient science that understands the
importance of balancing the body, mind and
spirit.
Made
by hand in small batches using triple-purified
water and stainless steel cookware
Making Eastern Essence® in small batches
ensures that all our products have that unmistakably
delicious, homemade taste. We take great care
in the preparation of all of our meals, using
the purest water and stainless steel cookware.
Many companies use aluminum cookware in the
dehydration process because of its efficiency;
however, dehydration with aluminum cookware
leaves traces of aluminum in the food and
reduces its nutritional value. Dehydration
with stainless steel, however, leaves no traces
of metal and keeps the vitality of the food
intact.
Made
with non-hydrogenated oils mechanically cold-pressed
especially for Eastern Essence® without
the use of chemical extraction
At Eastern Essence®, we use only 100%
organic, unrefined, cold- pressed oils. Some
companies utilize refined oils (either chemically-extracted
or processed with high heat), which lack the
beneficial nutrients and essential fatty acids
that unrefined oils contain. Unrefined, organic
vegetable oils like those used in Eastern
Essence® have healing properties as well
as a greater aroma and superior taste, and
are an important contribution to Eastern Essence's®
healthy, delicious products.
Prepared
with freshly ground herbs and spices and 100%
pure, mineral-rich rock salt
In Ayurveda, a very important aspect of the
quality of food lies in the quality of the
herbs and spices used. While most companies
utilize prepowdered herbs and spices for their
products, at Eastern Essence®, we grind
our herbs and spices freshly before cooking,
thereby keeping the essential oils of the
herbs and spices intact. This ensures the
highest potency of the herbs and spices and
therefore, the health-promoting effects and
delicious taste of all Eastern Essence®
foods. Pure rock salt, used in Eastern Essence®
foods, is mineral- rich and useful in digestion
of certain foods.
Dehydrated
at low temperatures in closed-chamber steam-boiler
dryers to retain the vitality of the food
enzymes and vitamins
Many companies freeze and freeze-dry their
products; however, this significantly reduces
the nutritional value of the food. At Eastern
Essence®, we carefully dehydrate our products
through a slow dehydration process that ensures
practically no loss of nutritional value.
At Eastern Essence, we believe people should
not have to choose between high-quality nutrition
and quick and easy preparation!
Nitrogen-packed
without artificial flavors, colors or preservatives
in a new, state-of-the-art facility in a government-designated
chemical-free zone
Nitrogen flushing is the safe and effective
means we use to preserve the freshness of
Eastern Essence® products. Oxygen in the
package is displaced with nitrogen gas, which
is an inert gas that makes up about 78% of
the air we breathe. No poisonous gases or
harmful preservatives are used. Without oxygen
in the package, the foods do not oxidize,
but remain fresh, retaining their nutritional
value longer.
Free
of MSG, TVP, HVP, GMOs, wheat, corn, soy,
yeast, and animal and dairy products
We have taken great care to avoid all impure
ingredients and common allergens in Eastern
Essence® products. This allows us to ensure
the finest possible product, and to provide
the healthiest and most delicious experience
for all of our customers.
Shelf-stable
for two years
Eastern Essence® products contain absolutely
no artificial ingredients or preservatives.
We use natural Vitamin E to preserve the freshness
of all our products.
We at Eastern Essence® are proud to offer
foods that combine the taste and feeling of
home cooking with quick and easy preparation,
and to provide you with the finest in healthy,
natural, authentic Indian cuisine! |
