ICAR-IIHR's Arka Mushroom Chutney Powder Revolutionizes Indian Diets and Creates Livelihoods
Arka Mushroom Chutney Powder, a innovative product developed by ICAR-IIHR, is transforming the way Indians incorporate mushrooms into their daily diets. This versatile chutney powder, made from dried oyster mushrooms and traditional Indian spices, is set to combat malnutrition and create livelihood opportunities.
Mushrooms, though nutritious, face challenges in Indian diets due to their short shelf life, irregular availability, and higher cost. Arka Mushroom Chutney Powder addresses these issues. It has a shelf life of up to three months at room temperature, making it convenient for daily use. The chutney powder retains the flavor of mushrooms and complements a variety of dishes.
The product is a result of thoughtful convergence of food science, tradition, and social entrepreneurship. It is high in essential nutrients, protein, and minerals, and boosts the immune system. ICAR-IIHR developed it to make mushroom consumption more accessible, practical, and delicious. Seven unique variants offer a balance of flavor and health benefits.
Arka Mushroom Chutney Powder also presents a scalable livelihood opportunity. It empowers women self-help groups, war widows, disabled veterans, and rural entrepreneurs by providing them with a means to earn income.
Arka Mushroom Chutney Powder is poised to revolutionize the way Indians consume mushrooms. Its convenience, nutritional value, and potential for creating livelihood opportunities make it a promising solution for combating malnutrition and empowering marginalized communities.
