Palm Oil Journey: From A Few Products to Our Full Range
Decades ago, our journey started simply. Rooted in familiar recipes and everyday moments. The process was unhurried, guided by instinct rather than scale. Each recipe reflected tradition, patience and a clear understanding of what people enjoyed coming back to. As demand grew, so did our responsibility to maintain the same standards while adapting to change.
Starting with a handful of products
In the past, we focused on a small selection of products. We chose our ingredients based on what we knew worked well and what was available at the time. We put a lot of thought into each decision, always aiming for the best flavour and consistency. This careful approach helped us create products that our customers came to love and trust. As we grew, the standards we developed along the way guided us in expanding our range even further.
Evolving with our Customers
As we started to expand, we couldn't help but notice the shifts in how people snack. There was a noticeable increase in interest towards healthier, balanced choices, and a demand for transparency in how snacks are made. We listened to our consumers closely, and that feedback inspired us to take a thoughtful step forward. This is what led us to make the important decision to transition to palm oil-free alternatives in our Heerson product range. This change isn't just about keeping up with trends; it reflects our commitment to the emerging sustainable snack brands in India while still honouring the flavours and textures that people love and trust.
Tradition meets changing preferences
One of the products influenced by this shift is Poha Chiwda, made with flattened rice flakes, peanuts, and aromatic spices. It offers a comforting option for everyday snacking and highlights our commitment to palm oil-free practices, all without sacrificing taste or texture. Poha Chiwda is a perfect example of how we continue to honour tradition while embracing the way people enjoy snacking today.
A modern addition to the range
As choices continued to change, we introduced Multigrain Chiwda to meet the demand for snacks that feel both satisfying and balanced. Prepared with oats flakes, cornflakes and other nutritious grains, it is light, flavourful and suitable for enjoying at any time of day. As a part of the Heerson product range, it reflects our transition to palm oil-free alternatives and our thoughtful approach to healthy snacks manufacturing. It is shaped by the same principles that define sustainable snack brands India is coming to trust.
Heritage Flavours Continues
Classic favourites always remain close to our hearts. Originating from the bustling streets of Bhavnagar, Gujarat, Gathiya holds a special place in the story of Indian snacking. As part of the Heerson product range, it reflects the evolution of Indian namkeen, where regional favourites continue to find relevance across generations. Our shift to palm oil-free alternatives allows this traditional snack to meet present-day trends in healthy snacks manufacturing, aligning naturally with the values associated with sustainable snack brands in India.
A party favourite through the years
Some snacks earn their place by being consistently present. Known for its crisp texture and savoury appeal, this is a snack that has been part of countless parties over the years. Within the Heerson product range, Salted Moong Dal continues to be the party favourite through the years. From lively gatherings to quieter tea times, this dependable crunch has long been part of how people snack together. Our transition to palm oil-free methods ensures that this familiar favourite aligns with modern healthy snacks, while still being the all-time favourite snack.
Snacks that stay with you
Some flavours remind us why namkeen has always been more than just a snack. Shared across offices, packed for trips, or opened during unplanned gatherings, they carry a small moment of familiarity. Snacks like Farsan (Garlic) with its bold, zingy character, the tangy crunch of Sukha Bhel (Khatta), the lighter ease of Sukha Bhel (Lite), and the steady warmth of Chana Dal Red Chilli reflect how Indian namkeen has found a place in everyday stories. At Heerson, these snacks have grown alongside changing consumer preferences. Our plam oil free practices allow them to remain relevant even today. Shaped through mindful, healthy snacks manufacturing, they sit comfortably among sustainable snack brands India continues to welcome, while still holding on to the flavours that people return to time and again.
A journey that continues with Heerson
What started with a few products has grown into a range shaped by tradition, responsibility and changing consumer tastes. Each addition reflects a careful balance between what has always been loved and what is valued today. As this journey continues, Heerson remains committed to creating namkeen that fits naturally into your everyday moments.
