We do not want to rely on donations forever. Products create sustainable income — for the women who make them and for the foundation that supports them.

Mission-driven enterprise

Our products are not fundraising gimmicks. They are real goods, grown and made by real people, with genuine quality standards. We are building a brand that stands for honesty.

Profit stays in the village

No middlemen. No corporate markup. Revenue from Ananda products is split between the farming collective (who grew it) and the foundation's operational costs.

Ananda Masoor Dal — Organic Red Lentils 1kg
Available Now

Ananda Masoor Dal

Organic · Pure · Nutritious · 1kg

Red lentils (masoor dal) grown organically in Sikariya village, Nawada, Bihar. Chemical-free, pesticide-free, and cultivated by women farmers who have been growing dal on this land for generations.

Unlike commercial dal that passes through 4–5 middlemen before reaching you, Ananda Masoor Dal goes directly from farm to your kitchen. The women who grew it receive a fair share of every sale — not the ₹15–20/kg that most small farmers receive, but a meaningful, direct income.

From Seed to Table

How Ananda Dal gets to you

01

Women sow the seeds

Women farmers in Sikariya prepare their land using traditional, chemical-free methods. Compost, natural pest control, and careful water management — practices passed down through generations.

02

Organic cultivation

Over 3–4 months, the masoor crop grows without a single chemical input. No fertilisers, no pesticides. The soil stays healthy; the crop is pure.

03

Harvest & quality check

At harvest, the collective comes together — sorting, cleaning, and checking every batch by hand. Quality is personal here; these are their names on the bag.

04

Packaged by the Ananda team

Dal is packed in 1kg sealed bags under the Ananda Foundation brand — with full transparency about origin, farming method, and the collective that grew it.

05

Sold direct to consumers

No middlemen. No wholesale markup. Ananda Dal is sold directly to end consumers via the foundation's network — keeping prices fair and margins with the farmers.

06

Profit shared directly

A fixed percentage of every sale goes directly back to the farming collective. The rest covers the foundation's packaging, distribution and operational costs.

Nutritional Value

Why masoor dal?

Masoor dal (red lentils) is one of the most nutritious staples in the Indian diet — high in protein, iron, and fibre. For rural families where meat is expensive, dal is often the primary protein source.

Our organic masoor dal contains no chemical residue — so you get the full nutritional benefit without the health risks associated with pesticide-heavy commercial alternatives.

High in protein — 25g protein per 100g. Essential for vegetarian diets and growing children.

Rich in iron — Important for preventing anaemia, particularly in women and girls in rural India.

High fibre — Supports digestive health and keeps you feeling full longer.

No chemicals — Our organic growing method means zero pesticide residue in your food.
