Sweets and snacks are an inseparable part of our meals. Especially in a state like Gujarat, you cannot survive without snacks and sweets. People in Gujarat get loads of dry snacks ordered so that women can enjoy the festival without the load of kitchen during Janmashtami. But we all know that sweets are rich in sugar and snacks are full of cholesterol. Thus, it becomes important to enjoy a festival with a healthy diet.

Flavoursome is completely based on customisation. Their main motive is to serve fresh and healthy so they cook only on receipt of order. Instead of sugar they use jaggery and rock salt instead of white salt because of their healthy properties.
