Frequently asked
What is an FSSAI licence and why check it?
FSSAI is the national food safety regulator. A genuine packaged-food seller has an FSSAI licence number printed on the pack or displayed in the shop. It signals the food meets safety standards.
Where do I get the best rates?
Wholesale markets such as Vishweshwarganj offer the best rates, especially for bulk. For small quantities, a trusted neighbourhood shop is convenient — compare a few before buying.
How do I judge the quality of dry fruits?
Look for uniform colour and size, no mustiness or insects, and a fresh smell. Buy from a high-turnover shop, and for packaged goods check the packing and expiry date.
