In a world obsessed with protein powders, shaker bottles, and trendy supplements, one humble ingredient quietly sits in the back of our kitchen shelves—Sattu.
Often referred to as the “poor man’s protein,” sattu is actually a nutritional goldmine. Made from roasted and ground Bengal gram (chana), this traditional ingredient has been used for centuries in Indian households, especially in Bihar, Jharkhand, and parts of Uttar Pradesh. But today, it’s largely overlooked—particularly by young people chasing fitness goals through expensive, processed alternatives.
At Fitcy, we believe it’s time to change that. We’ve reimagined sattu for today’s fast-paced lifestyle—with modern, tasty formats like Sattu Cheela and Sattu Shake (Coffee Hazelnut flavor)—so you can get clean, natural protein without compromising on flavor or convenience.
What is Sattu, Really?
Sattu is essentially roasted gram flour, though sometimes it’s made using barley or a blend of pulses. The roasting process not only enhances its flavor but also makes it easy to digest. Traditionally, it’s mixed with water, spices, and lemon to make a refreshing drink, or used in stuffings for litti, parathas, and more.
But beyond its rich taste and versatility, sattu is a nutrient-dense superfood:
- High in protein (about 20g per 100g)
- Rich in fiber, iron, magnesium, and manganese
- Naturally gluten-free
- Low on the glycemic index—great for energy and blood sugar balance
Why Sattu Beats Most Protein Powders
Let’s be real: Most commercial protein powders are expensive, overly processed, and often filled with artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and synthetic nutrients. On the other hand, sattu is:
- All-natural, with zero additives
- Affordable and locally sourced
- Easy to digest, with no bloating or heaviness
- Rich in micronutrients—not just protein
Most importantly, it provides slow-releasing energy and keeps you fuller longer—making it ideal for active lifestyles.
Why the Youth is Missing Out
The modern fitness culture, driven by influencer trends and imported supplements, often sidelines powerful Indian ingredients like sattu. There’s a perception that “desi” equals outdated, and “Western” equals superior. But the truth is—natural trumps artificial every time.
That’s why at Fitcy, we’re working to change that mindset. We’ve created sattu-based products that are as modern as your lifestyle, but rooted in ancient Indian nutrition.
