For dessert enthusiasts, the Tegral Satin Millet Cake Mix is a game-changer. As consumers increasingly lean towards healthier choices, this mix provides a guilt-free solution, devoid of refined sugar, maida, and gluten. The result is a selection of delectable cakes that boast exceptional texture and volume, promising a delightful sensory experience.

Millets, known for their health benefits and environmentally friendly cultivation, are at the heart of these innovative products. In line with this ethos, Puratos India's commitment to health, sustainability, and innovation shines through its millets-based product range. With the United Nations declaring 2023 as the International Year of Millets, this initiative aligns perfectly with the global push for sustainable food practices.

Mr. Ashish Seth, Managing Director of Puratos Food Ingredients India Pvt. Ltd., shared his enthusiasm for these new creations, stating, "Our products exemplify our firm resolve to not only tantalize taste buds but also champion the well-being of consumers and the planet we share." Puratos India's dedication to crafting a sustainable and flavorful future is evident in every aspect of these millet-based mixes.

The Tegral Satin Millet Cake Mix and Easy Puravita Millet Bread Mix empower bakers to explore their creativity while embracing the benefits of millets. From layer cakes to muffins, these mixes offer an array of possibilities, all while celebrating the balance of nutrition and flavor.

With "Taste Tomorrow" surveys revealing a growing global trend toward plant-based options that align with health goals, Puratos India's millets-based products are not just a response to current preferences, but a glimpse into a future where wellness and sustainability go hand in hand.

As Puratos India introduces these innovative millets-based bakery and patisserie mixes, it paves the way for a culinary experience that celebrates health, flavor, and the planet.
