Super Foods of the Himalaya
Indigenous Foods – Super Foods of the Himalaya- Nutritional Safety
SOS Organics cultivates and harvests their indigenous super foods naturally and holistically, ensuring that they are free from chemicals. The exceptional nutritional properties and medicinal attributes of these super foods have earned them the title of “Super Foods of the Himalaya.” It is undeniable that they possess great nutritional potential.
Harnessing Himalayan Conditions for Nutritional Richness
The unique Himalayan environment plays a role in enhancing the medicinal properties of indigenous crops. Distinct weather, mineral-rich soil, and cosmic radiation combine to boost the exceptional nutritional content of these foods.
Traditional Wisdom and Modern Science Converge
Generations of traditional wisdom have acknowledged the remarkable properties of these foods. Recent international scientific research now validates this ancient knowledge. Turmeric, or ‘Pahari Gold,’ is gaining attention for its potential in preventing Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and cancer.
Rediscovering Forgotten Treasures
Himalayan Nettle, Oregano (Vana Tulsi), Millet (Madhira and Madhua), and Amaranth (Ramdana) are just a few examples of ‘Super Foods’ found in the hills. Mythology and folklore offer insights, with Amaranth known as the ‘Grain of Lord Ram.’
Reviving Nutritional Balance
Many indigenous foods have been overshadowed by mass-produced options, their significance waning. However, we believe they can act as valuable nutritional supplements, compensating for processed food deficiencies. Even a small portion of these Himalayan food remedies can provide essential nutrients missing in our diets.

Preservation, Documentation, and Promotion
At the SOS Organics Foundation, we commit ourselves to preserving, documenting, and promoting traditional farming methods and indigenous crops. Our objective is to offer accessible information about Super Foods and their advantages, facilitating exploration and implementation.
