We are offering ragi powder.the major cereals and millets consumed in india are rice, wheat(cereals), jowar, bajra and regi(finger millets). These grains are the main source of energy in indian diets contributing as they do 70 - 80 % of daily energy intake of majority of indians. Ragi is rich in minerals, especially calcium.millets including ragi are rich in minerals and fibre. Inclusion of some amount of finger millets in a diet will help in making up deficiency of some of these minerals in the diet and in providing bulk fibre to diet, especially the rice based ones. it must be be pointed out that these millets are also rich in phytate and tannin and hence interfere with mineral availability.

We are offering kudampuli or malabar tamarind has excited the scientific community as the richest natural source of potential anti-obesity agent hydroxy citric acid (heynsfied et al., 1998; rajendran et al., 1998; muthulakshmi and sarah, 1999). The hca is a magic bullet to conquer the obesity life style diseases, diabetes and cardiac ailments. This unique biologically active acid lowers the blood lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides, by triggering fatty acid oxidation in the liver via thermogenesis. During glycogenesis, the carbohydrates are digested and the glucose is liberated and stored as glycogen in both liver and muscle. The hca from fleshy fruit rind of kudampuli inhibits the conversion of carbohydrates to fat without affecting krebs' cycle through a powerful citrate cleavage enzyme ato citrate lyase. It is a vital ingredient in fish cuisines of kerala. The dried rind of kudampuli also has an anti-allergic action against the propensity of fish with high histamine. Cooking with kudampuli destroyed histamine in fish up to 80% and imparts stiffens or firmness to fish pieces in curries. Kudanpuli fruits are edible, but too acidic to be eaten raw. They are valued for their sun dried or over dried rind which is widely used in sri lanka and india as a condiment for flavouring curries in place of tamarind and lime.

We are offering banana powder is a powder made from processed bananas. It is used as a component for production of milk shakes and baby foods. It is also used in the manufacture of various types of cakes and biscuits. Banana powder is formed by using banana pulp, which is mechanically chopped and then processed with hydraulic shear using a colloid mill, turning it into a paste. the paste is then dried by either spray- or drum-drying, although the latter is more common because none of the paste is lost while drying. The drum-drying also produces about 2% more powder and also dries it more thoroughly. Regardless of the drying process banana powder can generally only stay fresh on the shelf for about a year before passing its expiration date. Banana powder, because of its high concentration of banana essence, has been found to be a "major source of carbohydrate and calories". While it is generally low as a source of protein, the beneficial ingredients of the powder are still "markedly superior to that of other fruits". The powder has also been found to be useful as a general treatment for dyspepsia (indigestion).
