Paaramparya is a traditional, eco friendly, chemical free store for all your kitchen staples and some bathroom supplies. Started by Priya and her husband this place is a blessing and we need more of such stores. This single room located in HSR, is easy to miss with the blink of an eye. However all the staples you need for your kitchen ranging from all kinds of flour, to lentils, rice make are easily available here. They also have flax seeds, horsegram, rye, jowar and other such not so common grains.
They only have natural and native options, so instead of salt they have rock salt, and instead of crystalized sugar they promote natural sweetners like jaggery powder, Palm sugar, honey etc. They have ready made sambar powder, gun powder and things like that and also have batter for dosa and idly, made of millet, atta etc. Apart from Staples they also have some mixtures, murrukku and other savory snacks freshly made. They prepare sesame seed oil, and fresh native milk paneer. Every Tuesday they get freshly sourced vegetables from local farmers. They also have home made soaps, kajals, shampoos etc. I love the packaging of the soap, that is sturdy and sustainable. Plus it comes in options like papaya, Chandan, lemongrass etc.
The idea for all of this is to bring your own containers and stock for your kitchen . However in the event that you cannot carry your own containers, everything is packed in brown paper or sacks. They do not deliver as such, but are happy to help with Dunzo.
The staff is friendly and always happy to help. You can place ypur order via WhatsApp as well.
They are open from Monday to Saturday 10AM to 8PM. They also cater for small gatherings and serve snacks every evening at their store.
The quality, quantity and price of the product is good and like promised the freshly procured staples from local farmers tastes healthy as well as tasty...
Read moreMy search for organic grocery store ended 10 years ago when I found this store and met Priya & Raj. This is exactly what I dreamed of having access to: organic non-GMO products in non-plastic packaging, where the source of each produce/product has been verified by the seller. In today’s world it cannot get more authentic. Almost all my grocery comes from Paaramparya starting from rice, oils, daals, flour, batter to soaps & also vegetables & fruits. I feel so privileged to have found them as they even sell cut & cleaned vegetables like peeled garlic, banana stem, banana flower and even roasted peanuts. They also cook some delicious traditional food (pre-order based) like idiyappam, akki rotti, banana flower vada etc using traditional methods with all organic ingredients (in healthy oils).
Ever so grateful for all that you guys do, infact the entire team is amazing ~ very helpful & responsive. All the best guys, I am so happy to see the product range...
Read moreThe location is blink and you'll miss. It is tucked in the back of a shopping complex. There is a board at the front and you've to walk a small alley at the side of the building. The place is very small, the varieties are restricted, but the personal attention and the information you get from the people who run this family run store is phenomenal. I feel they do their homework in sourcing their ingredients and they take pride in it. There are food grains (rice, wheat, millets, bajra, ragi), nuts, atta, oils, seasonal fruits and veggies and they also share some rack space for like-minded eco friendly and organic products from others. Please take your own containers, if possible, for everything including oils. They also have ready made batter, chutneys, sweets and savouries and some special ready to eat food on other days. They home deliver as well (depends on location, please...
