From Farm to Jar: Sourcing the Finest Ingredients for Your Favorite Pickles & Chutneys

Behind every spoonful of spicy chutney or tangy pickle lies a journey—a journey that begins not in a factory, but on a farm. At The Gourmet by Renukka, we believe the foundation of authentic taste and wholesome goodness starts with one thing: exceptional ingredients.

Our promise is simple—bring you clean-label, preservative-free condiments that taste just like home. And to make that happen, it all begins on the ground.

🧄 Freshness You Can Taste, Right from the Soil

We work closely with trusted farms across India to source ingredients that are:

• 🌱 Seasonal & Local – Picked at peak ripeness for maximum nutrition and taste

• 👨‍🌾 Ethically Sourced – Supporting traditional Indian farmers and small-scale growers

• 🧺 Handled with Care – Sorted, cleaned, and prepared by hand in small batches

This is not about shortcuts—it’s about slow food done right. No frozen stock. No imported shortcuts. Just the freshest produce brought directly to our kitchen.

🧂 Our Star Ingredients (And Why We Choose Them)

🧄 Garlic & Chillies

Grown in nutrient-rich soil, harvested when the flavor is bold and pungent. These powerhouses go into our:

• Garlic Chilli Achaar

• Tangy Red Chilly Garlic Chutney

Both deliver strong taste and wellness benefits like gut health and immunity.

🍋 Lemons

We select firm, juicy lemons—free of wax or artificial treatments—for our Khatta Meetha Nimbu Pickle. Their natural acidity is perfect for slow fermentation and preservation without vinegar.

🥕 Winter Veggies

Carrots, cauliflower, turnips—sourced during the crisp North Indian winter. These fresh vegetables are the soul of our:

• Mixed Vegetable PickleCrunchy, colorful, and sun-aged the old-fashioned way.

🧂 Himalayan Rock Salt

We never use regular refined salt. Himalayan pink salt is rich in trace minerals and far gentler on the system. It preserves, balances, and enriches every jar.

🌻 Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil

Sourced from small Indian mills that practice lakdi ghani (wooden churn) methods. This oil retains nutrients and acts as a natural preservative—used sparingly but purposefully.

🧄 Ginger & Herbs

From our Ginger-Garlic Chutney to our Homemade Schezwan, everything is blended from fresh roots, not pastes or concentrates. You can smell the difference—and your gut will thank you too.

☀️ Sunlight & Time Are Ingredients Too

Once our fresh ingredients arrive, they don’t get flash-cooked or processed. We:

• Sun-dry and sun-ferment for weeks

• Let nature do the work—slowly, steadily

• Avoid chemical preservatives or artificial shortcuts

Whether it's a zesty pickle or a spicy chutney, From Farm to Jar, every step is about retaining real flavor and real nutrition.
