vegetables from our own farm are used for cooking as often as possible and the milk
supplied for the daily use is also from our domestic cows and buffalows. Artificial
colours & preservatives are not used in cooking.
Our decisson to use organically grown vegetable and organic milk is based upon various
studies that have shown organophosphate pesticides have various illeffects like
abdominal pain, respiratory problems, memory disorders, skin & eye trouble,
depression etc. Research showed that nutrient level in organic fruits & vegetables
is much higher and contains upto 40% more antioxidants and that the figure was 60%
for organic milk. Another Research showed that organic milk contains 68% more Omega-3
fatty acid, deficiency of which is the major cause of various health problems such
as heart diseases, cancer, arthritis etc.
While all meals are cooked in best available refined oil, once a week food is cooked

to reduce the incidence of colon, breast & skin cancers.
Mustard seeds are a very good source of Omega-3 fatty acids as well as dietary fiber,
protein, niacin calcium manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, selenium and zinc. All
of these are required by our body and help in reducing asthma, arthritis and blood

All over India Aluminum cookware is vastly used in cooking meals. Foods cooked and
retained in Aluminum pots react with metal to form Aluminum salts the consumption
of which is associated with impaired visual, motor coordination & Alzheimer
disease. Therefore, management has decided to use Zinc coated utensils as much as
possible for cooking because Zinc is an essential mineral that is found in every
cell of our body and activates white blood cells to fight infections and protect
the body against viruses.
