are those foods that are produced, processed and packaged without
using chemicals. They have been accepted due to their perceived
health benefits over conventional food. The organic industry is
growing rapidly and has caught the attention of farmers,
manufacturers and, above all, consumers. Some of the popular

Organic food is natural and fresh, and thus, it is tasty. Organic
gardening uses organic seeds, organic fertilizers, compost, organic
root stimulators, and organic pest control. Organic food production
is a heavily regulated industry, distinct from private gardening.
Currently, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Japan and
many other countries require producers to obtain special
certification in order to market food as organic within their
borders. In the context of these regulations, organic food is food
made in a way that complies with organic standards set by national
governments and international organizations. Foods claiming to be
organic must be free of artificial food additives, and are often
processed with fewer artificial methods, materials and conditions,
such as chemical ripening, food irradiation, and genetically
modified ingredients. Pesticides are allowed so long as they are
not synthetic. It has also been found that organic farming is less
damaging to the surrounding environment as the farms do not consume
or release synthetic pesticides into the environment. When
calculated per unit area, organic farms use less energy and produce
less waste, e.g., waste such as packaging materials for chemicals.
Food habits vary across the length and breadth of Uttarakhand, and
are governed largely by the accessibility of the area concerned.
Coarse, local grains such as mandua and barley are consumed more
than wheat or rice, both of which are scarce. In the lower hills,
vegetables and lowland grains like wheat, rice and lentils are
consumed more commonly; the incidence of vegetarianism is also much
higher than in the colder parts of the state. The use of dairy
products is fairly limited, and you�ll usually see it only in the
endless glasses of tea which make up a normal day in the life of a
Pahari villager. Food is high in hot spices such as red chillies.
Popular dishes include chainsoo (a dish of black gram dal), ras (a
mixture of dals), jholi (a thick gravy with potatoes, tomatoes and
other vegetables), kafuli (a spinach dish), and local breads such
as chapattis, manduaki roti and gahatkeparanthe. Chutneys made from
sesame seeds, hemp seeds and other local ingredients help perk up
meals. Popular sweets include the famous baalmithai of Almora,
studded with tiny globules of sugar and made from milk cooked till
its brown and semi-solid; and singhodi, made from desiccated
coconut and khoya, and wrapped in a fragrant
leaf.
