Chana Sattu is whole roasted Bengal gram (kala chana) stone-ground into a fine, nutty flour. Unlike besan — which is raw, unroasted chickpea flour used in cooking — Sattu is ready to eat as is: just mix with water, salt and lemon for a cooling drink, or with milk and jaggery for an energy shake. It has been Bihar's staple high-protein superfood for centuries — what construction workers, farmers and pregnant women have relied on for stamina and strength long before whey protein existed.
Why most sattu on supermarket shelves is not what your grandmother made.

RootWell Sattu starts where it should — in the chana fields of Bihar, where small family farms still grow the traditional Desi Kala Chana variety. We work directly with 12 farming families across Patna, Nalanda and Aurangabad districts, paying them 18–22% above mandi rates because honest farmers deserve honest pay.
After harvest, the chana is sun-dried for 3–4 days on woven mats, then slow-roasted in iron kadhais over a controlled flame. This isn't the quick high-heat industrial roasting most commercial brands use — slow roasting at 110–120°C preserves the protein structure and gives Sattu its signature toasted aroma.
Final step is the chakki (stone grinder). Stone-grinding generates almost no heat, so the natural oils, fibre and protein stay intact. Each 500g pouch is packed within 14 days of grinding and shipped to your door — most commercial Sattu on retail shelves is already 3–9 months old. That single difference is what makes Bihari grandmothers say RootWell tastes like 'real Sattu, like before'.
"I switched from whey protein to RootWell Sattu six months ago. My bloating disappeared within two weeks and I'm saving ₹1,800 a month. My trainer was shocked at my recovery."
"My mother-in-law from Patna confirmed RootWell Sattu tastes exactly like the one she grew up with. That was the highest compliment. I drink it every morning now."
"I'm diabetic and was struggling with morning sugar spikes. Sattu sharbat replaced my chai-biscuit habit. My fasting sugar dropped from 142 to 118 in 2 months."

Diabetic, was struggling with morning sugar spikes. Sattu sharbat replaced my chai-biscuit habit. Fasting sugar dropped from 142 to 118 in 2 months.
Coarser grind than supermarket Sattu — which I now realise is the point. You can actually smell the roast. Took 2 days to get used to, now I prefer it.
Replaced my pre-workout shake. 2 tbsp with cold milk + jaggery, 30 min before gym. Energy lasts 90 minutes, zero stomach issues. Repurchased twice.
Second trimester. My doctor was happy with the iron and folate from Sattu. Drink it daily with lemon and rock salt. No acidity at all.

You can order 100% pure, traditionally processed Chana Sattu directly from RootWell (root-well.com) or via our official WhatsApp business channel at +91-9508085507. We deliver fresh across Delhi-NCR in 2–3 days and pan-India in 4–6 days.
Yes. RootWell Chana Sattu is 100% roasted Bengal gram (kala chana), stone-ground in small batches with zero fillers, no besan, no barley, no preservatives, no additives. We source directly from small Bihari farmers.
Pure Chana Sattu contains approximately 22g of plant protein per 100g — one of India's highest plant-protein flours. It is comparable to many whey protein servings while also providing 18g of fibre and being entirely vegan.
Besan is raw unroasted chickpea flour used for cooking (pakora, kadhi). Chana Sattu is roasted whole Bengal gram (kala chana) stone-ground into flour. Sattu is ready-to-eat without further cooking, has a nutty toasted flavour, higher fibre, lower glycemic index, and is naturally cooling.
Mix 2 tablespoons of RootWell Pure Chana Sattu in 250ml cool water with a pinch of rock salt, ½ tsp roasted jeera powder and juice of half a lemon. Drink first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. The 18g fibre + 22g protein per 100g keeps you full for 4+ hours and reduces cravings.
Yes. Pure Chana Sattu has a low glycemic index (~28) which means it does not spike blood sugar. The slow-release carbs combined with fibre and protein make it diabetic-friendly. Avoid the sweet jaggery version; stick to the savoury lemon-salt drink.
Many RootWell customers consume 2 tablespoons of Sattu daily during pregnancy for its iron, calcium and folate content. As with any pregnancy nutrition, please consult your doctor first.
Store RootWell Pure Chana Sattu in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Shelf life is 6 months from manufacture. Once opened, it stays fresh for 60–90 days. Refrigerate during monsoon for extra freshness.
RootWell Pure Chana Sattu is priced at ₹249 for a 500g pouch (~₹15 per serving). Most commercial brands sell for ₹150–₹200 per 500g but blend besan or barley flour. We price slightly higher because every batch is 100% Bihari kala chana, stone-ground in small lots.
2 tablespoons (~30g) once or twice daily is the ideal Bihari traditional portion. This gives you 6–7g of plant protein and 5–6g of fibre per serving. Pregnant women, athletes and people recovering from illness can go up to 3 tablespoons twice daily.
Sattu doesn't directly burn belly fat, but the 22g protein + 18g fibre per 100g keeps you full for hours, reduces snacking, and stabilises blood sugar — three of the biggest drivers of stubborn belly fat. RootWell customers regularly report inch loss within 6–8 weeks when Sattu replaces sugary morning drinks.
Yes — Sattu has been a traditional Bihari weaning food for generations. For children above 2 years, mix 1 tablespoon with cold milk and a pinch of jaggery as an evening drink. The plant protein supports growth and the fibre keeps tummies regular.
Sattu is one of the most cooling drinks in Indian tradition — Bihari farmers have used it as a summer heat-shield for centuries. Mix 2 tbsp with cold water, lemon and rock salt: it lowers body temperature, replaces electrolytes lost in sweat, and prevents dehydration better than glucose drinks.
RootWell Sattu stays fresh for 60–90 days once opened if stored in an airtight container in a cool dry place. During monsoon, refrigerate the jar for extra protection against humidity. Unopened pouches have a 6-month shelf life from manufacture date.
Yes, but it's usually unnecessary. Sattu already provides 22g of complete plant protein per 100g along with 18g of fibre — most people get full daily protein from 4 tbsp daily. If you train heavily, you can stack one whey scoop in the evening, but most RootWell customers replace whey entirely within 30 days.
Pure Chana Sattu is well-tolerated by most people because slow-roasting breaks down the gas-forming compounds in raw chana. If you've never had Sattu before, start with 1 tbsp for the first 3 days, then move to 2 tbsp. Always mix in cool water with rock salt and roasted jeera — this is the traditional anti-gas formula.
Yes. RootWell Pure Chana Sattu is 100% kala chana with zero added wheat, barley, or oats. Our facility processes only Sattu — there is no shared equipment with gluten-containing grains. Safe for celiac and gluten-sensitive customers.
Most national brands blend chana with cheaper besan or barley to lower cost, then industrial-roast at high heat. RootWell is 100% Bihari kala chana, stone-ground in small 50kg batches, shipped within 14 days of grinding. We cost slightly more per gram but you taste the difference in the first cup.
