About us

Millets have been around for thousands of years and require very little to no pesticides/fertilizers to grow, making them inherently organic. They have tremendous health benefits that include protecting cardiovascular health, preventing the onset of diabetes, helping people achieve and maintain a healthy weight, and managing inflammation in the gut. Not only are they a good source of protein, fiber, key vitamins and minerals but are also gluten free.

With all these benefits in mind, we created Grainova – our multi-millet atta to re-introduce the nutrient dense goodness of millets back into our diets. Grown in the pristine upper reaches of Himalayas, our millets are sourced in their pure organic form and smartly blended with a diverse range of superfoods such as oats, quinoa and amaranth.Our nutrient dense ingredients are milled using the pearling process which allows the nutritious aleurone layer of the kernels to remain intact.

At Naini Flora, our aim is to empower the local Himalayan community by encouraging farmers to grow their local produce and provide ample opportunities to women in helping us procure and produce our products.

Most of our grains are procured directly from Uttarakhand farmers with the help of Cooperative Societies, which work under the guidance of Organic Board of Uttarakhand. Our grains are grown organically by the farmers in the upper reaches of Himalayas.

In addition to millets we are a trusted Brand when it comes to Red Rice,Rosemary Herb,Black Soybean(Bhat Dal), Munsyari Rajma, Horse Gram(Gahat Dal), Jakhyia (Wild Mustard seed).

We at Naini Flora, located at beautiful valley of Bhimtal, Nainital District, believe in ancient Indian values of holistic nutrition and sustainable society which ensures our bodies, our farmers and planet stay healthy.

Our Story:

Organic and wholesome– food that nourishes the body and the soul!

Having spent nearly 4 decades travelling the length and breadth of the country, it never dawned on us how our food choices were governed by where we lived. Simple, natural and  wholesome – when we lived closer to nature, away from city madness. It was only when we moved to NCR that we realised how quickly we transitioned to refined, processed, quick and easy packaged food because it was so readily available across shelves. Our lifestyle and nutrient deficient food choices caught up to us pretty soon!

And so we decided to take refuge in the mighty Himalayas and go back to incorporating the ancient Indian values of holistic nutrition, wholesome, organic food which is sustainably sourced ensuring our bodies, our farmers and the planet stay happy. This thought gave birth to GRAINOVA.

We understand that you are busy and short on time, but you can still be smart about being healthy. Simplicity is key! Our focus is to make nutrition simple and accessible to everyone. Our products can help you augment your current food habits by re-introducing simple ingredients from nature that deliver the biggest bang for the buck!

We are strong believers in supporting local communities by empowering Himalayan farmers to grow their native, seasonal produce. Women are playing a key role in helping us procure, produce and package our products.
