Shastha Foods is one of the largest producers of freshly ground and naturally fermented savory batters in the U.S. with over 160 million Dosas/Idlis served. Our journey began in 2002 in San Jose, CA with a small operation to produce home-style, completely natural and vegetarian batters that are perfect for crepes, pancakes and steamed dumplings.
We wanted to explore the advantages of fermented foods, mentioned in Ayurvedic text thousands of years ago. Fermented food has a cultural connotation in India and represents the traits of ancient Indian wisdom. They are known for their probiotic content and overall well-being.
At Shastha Foods, we’ve created a line of ready-to-cook products and a wide variety of Indian staples like rice, millets, coffee, sweets and snacks.
Shastha Batters is naturally gluten-free because it uses only 4 ingredients – Rice, Lentils, Water, and Salt. If you are gluten intolerant and are looking for natural, non-processed foods, try our range of savory batters, perfect for pancakes or crepes.
We follow a 2000-year-old ancient recipe of making fermented batters. It involves grinding rice and lentils using stone grinders and fermenting the batter naturally for more than 24 hours.
Because of the fermentation process, Shastha Batters help in restoring good bacteria to the gut. Idli and Dosa are the recommended foods in South India to tackle any gut related issues.
The fermentation process makes Shastha batters probiotic. If you are looking for a natural probiotic option that is lactose free try Dosa or Idli batter.
We believe customer experience is the best way to build brand awareness. Shastha Now is an initiative that will allow customers to order and get the products the same day.
