Sattu is North India's original functional food — 406 kcal of sustained energy, 22.5g protein and 9.1mg iron per 100g, all from a single ingredient (roasted Bengal gram) that requires no cooking and dissolves in seconds. Before protein shakes existed, Bihar farmers sustained 8-hour work days on sattu sharbat alone.
What is Sattu?
Sattu is flour made from Bengal gram (chana) that has been dry-roasted at high heat before milling. The roasting pre-gelatinises the starch, making sattu instantly soluble in liquid without any cooking — unlike raw besan, which must be cooked to remove its raw flavour. This makes sattu a ready-to-eat protein and energy source, one of the few traditional foods that qualifies as an "instant" meal without any processing beyond roasting and milling. Our organic sattu is made from certified organic Bengal gram, stone-milled after roasting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sattu is a traditional North Indian and Nepali flour made from roasted Bengal gram (chana). The chickpeas are dry-roasted at high heat, then stone-milled into a coarse flour. Roasting pre-gelatinises the starch, making sattu instantly soluble — it requires no cooking and can be consumed directly mixed with water, buttermilk or as a filling. It is distinct from raw besan (which must be cooked).
Sattu provides 406 kcal per 100g with 22.5g protein and 11.4g dietary fibre — a macro profile that sustains energy for 4–6 hours. Bihar and Jharkhand farmers traditionally consumed sattu sharbat (mixed with water, lemon and black salt) as a complete mid-day meal. Research from the National Institute of Nutrition confirms sattu's role as a sustained-energy food superior to most processed snacks in satiety index.
Sattu sharbat is a cooling summer drink traditional to Bihar. Mix 2 tbsp sattu in 200ml cold water until dissolved. Add a pinch of black salt (kala namak), a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of roasted cumin powder. Stir well and drink immediately. It is naturally refreshing, highly nutritious and is consumed across Bihar as a breakfast or afternoon energy drink.
Yes. Sattu has a relatively low GI for a high-carbohydrate food (approximately 38–42) due to its high fibre and protein content, which significantly slow glucose absorption. A 2019 study in the Journal of Food Science and Technology found that sattu-based meals produced significantly lower postprandial glucose responses compared to wheat-based meals in Type 2 diabetic subjects.
