 I say organic review for organic groceries online delivered home for every Indian household

Finding a trusted store that sells high-quality organically grown and sustainably farmed and processed is a bit of a challenge, across the country. I Say Organic is a verified and certified organic online food marketplace I recently found to fulfill all my monthly organic grocery needs, sitting at home! 

I say organic fulfills all the checkpoints on my list when it comes to sustainable consumption. They have multiple procedures in place to verify the source of each item that is listed on the I Say organic website. The 300+ products currently available on I Say Organic are sourced from 13 states across the country and come from farms verified by I Say Organic on multiple grounds to make sure the products are Organic and sustainably grown. They have a navratri and special Diwali section for all the upcoming festivities ! Shop for Diwali and Navratri from I say organic! 

 You can verify each listed farmer and know more about who they are, where your product is sourced from, and what conditions they are grown, from their Know Your Farmer feature and I personally applaud the effort as it relays the transparency to the consumer. For a consumer who is looking to be mindful of their food consumption, this is a piece of great information. 





A little about I Say Organic

I Say Organic is a social enterprise that believes in giving people the option of eating safe food (grown without toxic chemicals and pesticides) while recognizing and supporting farmers who grow this food.I Say Organic partners with producer companies and connect farmers who want to grow organic or sustainable with customers who want to buy organic or sustainable.

I had a great time restocking my grocery with a quick shopping spree on their website and here is my review of shopping from I Say Organic. 

I Say Organic website browsing and shopping experience 

It is a very simple interface to browse through and select what you'd like to buy and stock. Since there are multiple categories, which are clearly marked on every page. This is enhanced with featured products displayed in details of various categories to choose from. The search feature anyway helps you directly search for anything you may be looking for, at request. 

So all in all, the purchasing and selecting experience is very visual and helpful for anyone to shop seamlessly on the I Say Organic Website 

Post Purchase Experience 

I was okay with the delivery experience. Since it was a heavy package I expected the delivery to be a bit better. It took almost two weeks for me to receive my entire order, One of the products that I had ordered was a Kanji concentrate and the bottle broke in transit, compromising the packaging overall. 

However, I immediately informed them via the WhatsApp channel where the order information and updates were initiated. The customer support was prompt and initiated a refund for the damaged item. They gave me an option of resending the missing product but I opted for a refund and they were very prompt with it. 

The other glass jars and bottles were intact and perfectly packed, so I was relieved and understood that this one instance was a one-off. 




What did I buy from I Say Organic? 

I restocked quite a few of my staples!
Organic cold-pressed mustard oil in India is hard to find and I found one of superior quality at the I Say organic store and immediately added that to my cart. 
Apart from that I also bought a few varieties of millet which are a staple in my diet, the assurance of the quality was an added bonus. The interesting products I got were some foxnuts snack and garlic salt.  
The top quality seed for my overnight oats is very hard to find, which a guaranteed quality. I got pumpkin and chia seeds at a very reasonable price online at the I Say Organic store and was delighted by the find.
I Say Organic also has pre-mixes available for Dosa and Pancake! I am looking forward to using this as The quality of pre-mixes I have tried previously was not satisfying, this however looks promising. 






Wishlist from I Say Organic 

I definitely want to try out other grains as well - Like their ready flours and rice. Organic vegetables are available only in Delhi at the moment, so even though they deliver almost everything listed on the I Say Organic Website, some items are only for a certain region not for delivery across the country. 

The Entire Snacks and Condiment section is on the Top of my wishlist to buy from I Say Organic along with restocking my groceries. 

I Say Organic Products Reviewed 

Each product is packaged in uniquely design and branded packaging, which not only makes it look good, but also makes sure to retain the freshness and quality. I am quite satisfied with each and every product but especially impressed with the Cold pressed organic mustard oil from the I Say Organic Store. 

The Garlic salt is a unique product to me and I quite enjoyed using this to boost the flavour of my foods even more! 10/10 get this from them ! 

 

Quality Nuts & Dry Fruits | Goingnuts.in | Bangalore

bangalore

In our fast paced lives we rarely get to do what we enjoy, leave aside leading a healthy lifestyle.

Even in our case, we eat out most of the time & no matter how healthy we try to eat at other times, it does not quite cut it.

One of the reasons why the number of restaurants keep rising is that we always choose convenience because the better things in life always require time & effort.

This post is dedicated to our Nutty future! We recently stumbled upon a website from which we ordered a lot of stuff and we were impressed at the value of money they provide and on top of that: Quality of the products.

The website we are talking about is: goingnuts.in and they specialize in quality nuts & dry fruits.
Their site is very informative as it contains a lot of details about their products apart from being user friendly.

Without further ado, let’s move on to what we tried and why we support their cause:
Walnuts (Without Shell)
We tried their Flax seeds, Chia seeds, Blueberries, Gojiberries, Hazelnuts, Dried dates & a few others. This post will not only be about these items but also about how we are currently using them.
The products mentioned above are all fresh, properly packaged and also the rates at which they are available are lesser than market standards.

Now for the items they sent us to try:

Walnuts without shell, Cranberries, Unfiltered Wild Raw Honey & a couple of Trail Mixes.
The ultimate challenge concerning walnuts is getting the stuff out, but in this case it’s all extracted before-hand. The only thing to do is munch on these fresh walnuts which are ultra-nutritious. For all the mentioned, we will not be listing health benefits as you can always Google it! ;)
Cranberries
Now comes the Cranberries! The cranberries have a tarty & sweet aftertaste. Going Nuts brings sulphate free quality Cranberries all the way from USA. Apart from what you can Google, this is one of the best available anti-oxidants & excellent for the urinary system.

The Trail Mixes from Going Nuts have a good balance in terms of nutrition, sharpness in taste & crunch. We are currently avoiding junk food by snacking on these babies as they might just help us live longer for a change! Going Nuts sent us the Peanut Trail Mix and another one called the Going Nuts Trail Mix.

The former has a predominance of peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, chocolate chips & cranberries. It is balanced in terms of the crunch, the bitterness from the walnuts & the sweetness of the chocolate chips & the cranberries. They really have done their homework! It not only tastes good but also is high on nutritional value. A perfect carry on snack while travelling.
Peanut Trail Mix


The latter has a mix of walnuts, almonds, cranberries, blueberries and pumpkin seeds. This has a different focus than the above. It emphasizes more on health benefits, good carbs & anti-oxidants.

Now moving on to something which is rare indeed: The raw un-filtered honey!

If you have tasted wild honey, you must be knowing that none of the commercial brands sell honey that is even remotely close to that taste!

In this case, the honey is thick, has a darker colour & tastes very similar to wild honey. There is always a difference between the real thing and what we get packaged but this is very close to the real deal! In this case, we received the multi-flora variety. They have some more as well which you can check on their website.
Going Nuts Trail Mix


That’s all about the products which we have tried/ are trying. Now for the new stuff: How we are using them!

Well, morning shows the day and whatever energy we have throughout the day is the result of our body burning our breakfast so, the stress here is on breakfast and how nutritiously heavy & light on the stomach it can be.

We have plain instant oats boiled with water. Nothing so special about this right? Along with this we add diced berries: either cranberries or blueberries (A daily shot of antioxidants), crushed almonds/ walnuts for the crunch, some chia seeds/flax seeds (because it helps in weight loss) & finally the wild sweetener!

Now this works! Not only is it super light on the stomach, but also it has all the magic to keep you brimming with energy all day.

Since we do not do recipes, that’s all you’re going to get from us ;)

That’s all from our side. A big shout out to Going Nuts for their top notch products. We are using their products for quite some time now and we can really feel the difference.

They deliver only in Bangalore and the best part: orders above INR 749/- include free shipping.

For all those who value their health in these polluted times: Happy to help!

Do let us know your views if you try out their products. From our experience, we don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

We’ll be back with a bang soon!

Till then—love yourself & bon apetit!
