FAQs

Our name is derived form two of our core principles, firstly creating great foods from local staples with minimal processing, thus “Rustik”.

Even the flours we make are made with special mill which grinds slowly, without heating up the grains. Regular mills have high speed grinders which create heat and cause oxidation, losing precious nutrients in the process. Our method is akin to the ancient stone grinders used for generations in India.

Secondly, all foods we make are made for nourishment keeping the nutritional needs of users in mind. Thus “Paushtiq” meaning nutritious in Sanskrit.

A balanced diet is one that gives your body the nutrients it needs to function correctly.

This means eating a wide variety of foods from within and across the five food groups, in the amounts recommended for you. These food groups are:

• Fruits and Vegetables of different types and colours
• Legumes and beans
• Grains (cereals)  mostly wholegrain and high cereal fiber varieties, such as bread, rice, pasta, noodles, polenta, couscous, oats, quinoa and barley
• Lean meat and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds
• Milk, yoghurt, cheese or their alternatives, mostly reduced fat

A balanced diet can protect the human body against certain types of diseases and ailments, in particular obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, some types of cancer and skeletal conditions. Balanced diets can also contribute to an adequate body weight. Nutrition is vital for your body and all of its systems to function properly. Nutrients help you maintain a healthy weight, reduce body fat, provide your body with energy, promote good sleep and make you feel better.

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is an important part of maintaining good health, and can help you feel your best.

This means eating a wide variety of foods in the right proportions and consuming the right amount of food and drink to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.
