Yoom Kitchari recipe is authentic to Aryuveda’s Kitchari recipe. By combining mung bean lentils with white Basmati rice, it creates a complete plant protein and the 8 super-spices are purposefully blended to support healthy digestion and nutrient assimilation.

Yoom Kitchari gives you 15g of complete plant protein, 9g of fiber, 70g of slow complex carbs, 2g of fat, and 4mg of iron, 350 calories per serving.

A complete protein refers to the building blocks of protein, which are amino acids that support long-lasting energy, good digestion, and muscle health. In order to be considered a complete protein, a food must contain all nine of these essential amino acids. Thanks to our blend of ingredients, Yoom Kitchari is a complete protein.

Yoom Kitchari comes in 3.5 oz (100g) per pouch, which is one serving.

Our Kitchari is package in 100% compostable plant-based pouches that are safe for home composting with recycled paper bag toppers.

Our plant-based pouches are 100% compostable and safe for home composting. There should be no films or residues after composting completes. They are certified to ASTM D6400 or ASTM D6868 which requires that they compost in a “reasonably short period of time”: The D6400 specification for industrial composting defines 84 days as reasonable for fragmentation of the product, and 180 days for complete mineralization in a properly managed composting facility. Very often the pouches compost faster than that, but that is the certified timeframe. The materials have been tested for compostability in a wide variety of composting environments including home composting bins. They are safe, nontoxic, and will degrade fully given adequate time and temperature.

Most essentially, compostable materials are those which actually contribute to the fertilization of soil.

Eventually, both compostable and biodegradable materials go back to nature, becoming their constituent parts. Now, the difference between to two is their footprint and what becomes of them during their decay. Compostable material is composed of organic material that breaks down in a short amount of time and serves to create nutrient-rich soil. Biodegradable material isn’t one simply defined category when you get down to the nitty-gritty. Broadly, all of it will break down to what it is made from, most of it hopefully doing so within 180 days. It could take a few months, a few years, or even longer depending on the environment for the entirety of the material to decompose. While it’s good that they are leaving nothing behind, during their decay they are just putting off more greenhouse gases (most potently, methane). This creates a larger overall GHG footprint, which is no fun for anyone.

No. Compostable packaging is meant to be composted and if placed with recyclables, it can disrupt the recycling process. So if you don’t compost it, it’s better to throw it out with your trash. When compostable products are placed in an open landfill or dump where oxygen is available, they will decompose at a rate similar to other biodegradable materials in the same setting.
