Bombay Hemp Company collaborates with The Hemp Factory, India’s first cloud kitchen serving exclusive hemp-based foods in Mumbai

Mumbai, 15 June 2022 : Bombay Hemp Company (BOHECO), India’s foremost industrial hemp and medical cannabis company, announced their collaboration with The Hemp Factory, India’s first hemp-based cloud kitchen in Mumbai today.

An upcoming juggernaut in the health and nutrition space, hemp is a 9000-year-old miracle resource empowering modern-day lifestyle by providing wholesome nutrition. An extraordinary superfood that is rich in protein, minerals, amino acids, omega fatty acids, Vitamin E and antioxidants – inclusion of hemp seeds in daily diet enhances one’s daily nutritional requirements.

Commenting on hemp’s properties, Yash Kotak, Co-Founder and CMO, Bombay Hemp Company (BOHECO) said, “The seeds and leaves of the Cannabis Sativa plant, or Bhang, are known for their nutritive and therapeutic effects respectively. The hemp seed is known world over as a super food and finds itself a crucial part of local Indian cuisine as well. Taking cognizance of its benefits, the FSSAI in November 2021 notified that the seed and its derivatives – oil and flour can be sold or used as an ingredient in food. This has enabled the heightened inclusion of hemp in every-day diet.”

Hemp seeds are known to boost energy and stamina, strengthen immunity, stimulate healthy metabolism and enhance digestive functions. The powder is also known to build lean muscle and improve gut health while the oil may control cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of blood pressure and enhance brain and heart health.

With the vision to transform popular dishes into healthier, nutritious meals, tailored to anyone’s diet, The Hemp Factory is incorporating the power of Himalayan Hemp, sourced from Uttarakhand, into globally renowned comfort foods for a guilt-free gourmet experience.

Dhaval Panchal, Co-Founder and CEO, The Hemp Factory said, “Several years in the industrial hemp and medical cannabis industry have highlighted the immense benefits of the inclusion of hemp in food. Being defined as a superfood has restricted its use to typically “healthy foods” such as salads. Along with Navneet Shetty, Kajal Lahane and Saurabh Dhonde, the co-founders, we wanted to make comfort foods a guilt-free choice. Rigorous research & development resulted in a carefully curated menu comprising of crowd favourites like pizzas, pastas, burgers, smoothies and desserts powered by the goodness of hemp, which is our principal food ingredient. We infuse it in all our dishes in the form of oil, seeds, or flour, making for a nutritious & delicious yet indulgent meal.”

Along with a delectable menu, The Hemp Factory is also committed to increasing the awareness of the benefits of hemp across India. With health issues like blood pressure, poor digestion, and high cholesterol on the rise, the inclusion of hemp-based food in diet may have contribute to holistic health outcomes. The Hemp Factory aims to expand from their current kitchen in Mumbai across metros through company-owned and franchise outlets, eventually setting up kitchens across India.

Posted on June 15, 2022 by City Today News (City today.media)

After the successful launch of Happy Tummy in 2021 with India’s first Digestive Quotient Test, Aashirvaad atta with Multigrains aspires to increase awareness about the importance of digestive health with the introduction of Fibre Meter and My Meal Plan in 2022.

Aashirvaad Atta with Multigrains, the value-added atta variant from India’s No.1 packaged atta brand, Aashirvaad, had launched Fibre Meter & My Meal Plan on its flagship Happy Tummy website ahead of World Digestive Health Day on 29th May, 2022. The initiative was in line with the brand’s endeavour to amplify the awareness and importance of digestion and the role played by fibre in helping to maintain normal digestion. The brand had commissioned ‘A Survey on Digestive Health’ conducted by Momspresso in 2021 which indicated that 56% of Indian mothers surveyed think their family suffers from digestive health issues. Based on the insights from the survey, the brand had launched Happy Tummy website, http://happytummy.aashirvaad.com/, a platform that is aimed at educating consumers about digestion and introduced India’s first Digestive Quotient (DQ) test – a 2-minute questionnaire to know more about digestion.

Over the last year, this initiative has witnessed more than 12 lakh Indian consumers landing on the website with more than 3.3 lakh undertaking the DQ test. The website also houses content such as blogs and videos by experts in the field of nutrition as well as high fibre recipes. It also gives consumers the opportunity to book a consultation with a dietician. Taking the conversation about Happy Tummy a notch higher, the brand has now introduced–Fibre Meter and My Meal Plan. The Fibre Meter indicates whether an individual is meeting the recommended daily fibre allowance through their present diet. Subsequently, My Meal Plan gives a suggested diet plan that can help meet the dietary fibre requirements as given by the Indian Council of Medical Research Recommended Dietary Allowances based on the gender and age entered by the consumer, in their diet every day. Consumers can choose from suggested meal plans across different cuisines.

Speaking about this on-going initiative, Ganesh Kumar Sundararaman, SBU Chief Executive – Staples, Snacks and Meals, Foods Division, ITC Ltd. said, “Last year, it came as a revelation to us that 56% of Indian mothers surveyed as part of ‘A Survey on Digestive Health’ conducted by Momspresso think their family suffers from digestive health issues. Aashirvaad Atta with Multigrains is our high fibre atta, and is committed to educating, enabling, and empowering the consumers by providing information on digestion. In 2021, we launched the Digestive Quotient (DQ) test with the objective of raising awareness about digestion among consumers, which witnessed massive success. This has encouraged us to further our focus on this subject and we are now happy to have launched additional initiatives under the platform – Fibre Meter along with My Meal Plan.”

To bring consumer attention towards the significance of digestion, Aashirvaad Atta with Multigrains has activated communication across multiple mediums. Consumers can check out the Fibre Meter and get a free meal plan at, http://happytummy.aashirvaad.com/
