KATHMANDU: Kodali Ventures, a company led by Nepali women, has launched a range of healthy and natural food products in the Nepali market.
The company has developed products based on traditional crops such as kodo (finger millet), fapar (buckwheat), chino (quinoa), kaguno (foxtail millet), mung dal (green gram), and bhatmas (soybean), which have been cultivated by Nepali farmers for generations. These products are free from chemical processing or preservatives, making them beneficial for human health.
Among the products introduced is Fapar Flakes, made from sprouted buckwheat. This superfood helps control sugar levels and is a minimally processed food product suitable for those seeking a nutritious diet.
Vegan Pro, another product, is a 25% protein-rich flour made from sprouted mung beans, sesame, and herbs. It can be used to make bara (savoury pancakes), soup, or mixed with other flours to prepare dry roti (flatbread). It is an excellent source of protein for families aiming for a healthy lifestyle.
Likewise, My Choice is a healthy beverage made from sprouted kodo, buckwheat, sunflower seeds, cocoa, and jaggery. It encourages children to consume traditional foods and fulfils their nutritional needs.
The company also offers Pancake (Sweet Gile Roti) flour, made from sprouted grains such as barley, buckwheat, foxtail millet, flaxseed, and jaggery. This chemical-free product is rich in nutrients like Omega-3, essential for a healthy heart and brain.
Kodali Ventures produces its products using natural methods without any chemicals. The company aims to inspire Nepali consumers to adopt a healthy lifestyle. By maximising the nutritional value of Nepali products, it is also promoting Nepali food culture.
In the future, Kodali Ventures plans to expand its products in the global market with a Nepali identity. The company is also encouraging entrepreneurship and leadership among Nepali women.
