India's wetland food brand

Singhara, from the wetlands to your kitchen.

Q: What is singhara?

Singhara, also called water chestnut (Trapa natans), is the fruit of an aquatic plant that grows in ponds and wetlands. In India it is eaten fresh in season, dried whole, or milled into singhara atta (water chestnut flour).

Q: How do I make soft rotis with singhara atta?

Singhara atta has no gluten, so it does not stretch like wheat dough. Knead it with warm water and a little mashed boiled potato to help it bind, roll it slightly thick between two sheets, and cook it on a medium-hot tawa.

Atta, pasta and vermicelli made from water chestnuts grown by 200+ farmer families in Bihar. Gluten free, fasting friendly and maida free, for everyday meals and vrat days alike.

Pond to plate

Grown in water. Picked by hand.

Singhara is the fruit of a plant that floats on Bihar's ponds. Here's how it gets from the water to your kitchen.

Told in Madhubani, the folk painting of Mithila, the same wetlands our singhara comes from.

Bihar's wetlands 01

Grown on Bihar's ponds

Singhara floats on shallow ponds and wetlands. Bihar grows over 40% of India's crop, and we work directly with 200+ farmer families there.

Harvest season 02

Harvested by hand

Farmers wade into the water to pick each nut, then bring the harvest to shore in baskets. Buying direct means fair prices for them and fresher singhara for you.

Why singhara

An old staple, rediscovered.

A fruit of the water

Not a grain. Not from a field.

Singhara (water chestnut) grows on ponds, not in fields. That's why its flour is naturally gluten-free, and why it has been a fasting staple in Indian homes for generations.

Gluten free, maida free

Our atta is 100% water chestnut. Our pasta and vermicelli are made with singhara, makhana, cassava and psyllium, with no wheat and no maida.

9^mo

Fresh without preservatives

Nitrogen-flushed packs stay fresh for 9 months unopened.

Made for fasting days

A traditional choice for Navratri, Ekadashi and Shivratri vrat meals.

Farmer families

We buy directly from growers in Bihar, with no middlemen in between.
