    What is Chana Sattu?

    Chana Sattu is the flour made by roasting whole Bengal gram (kala chana) and stone-grinding it into a fine powder. Unlike modern protein powders, it's a single-ingredient food with thousands of years of safe daily use across Bihar, Jharkhand, UP, and Punjab. RootWell Pure Chana Sattu uses traditional cold stone-grinding to preserve protein structure, fibre, and the cooling Pitta-balancing properties Ayurveda has documented for millennia.
