snacks". And that's where we step in. FourThirty is bringing you flavorful healthy snacks that have no onion and no garlic, well suited for this festive season.

Why Opt for healthy Snacks During Navratri?
Navratri is all about celebrating with purity, both in our thoughts and our meals. The tradition of eating what everyone deems "no onion, no garlic snacks" comes from the belief that these ingredients can create heat in the body and potentially disrupt the spiritual calm we aim for during these nine days of devotion. As an alternative, the "sattvik snacks" are preferred for their simplicity, ease on digestion, and alignment with the values of purity and harmony.
