Chutneys and pickles are staples in Indian kitchens. While both bring bursts of flavour to our meals, there's an increasing interest in knowing what's healthier, more convenient, and nutrient-rich. If you're trying to choose between instant chutney mixes and traditional pickles, this guide is for you.At Daily Farmer, we believe good taste and good health should go hand-in-hand. Let’s explore which condiment deserves a permanent place in your kitchen.
Understanding the Basics
Pickles are made by preserving fruits or vegetables in oil, vinegar, and salt—often with added preservatives to extend shelf life. While tangy and delicious, many commercial pickles are high in sodium, oil, and additives.Instant chutney, on the other hand, is a dry blend of natural ingredients—ready to mix with water or curd. No synthetic preservatives, no heavy oils, just clean, farm-fresh flavour in minutes.
What Makes Instant Chutney a Healthier Choice?
1. Low Oil, Low Sodium
Unlike pickles that are often soaked in oil and salt, instant chutney mixes are typically dry roasted or dehydrated. For example, our Magic Beetroot Chutney contains real beetroot, lentils, and spices—no excess salt or oil.This makes it heart-friendly and suitable for daily consumption.
2. Rich in Nutrients
Pickles lose much of their nutritional value due to long fermentation and oil preservation. In contrast, instant chutneys retain the fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants of their raw ingredients.Take beetroot chutney—a natural source of iron, folate, and antioxidants. Or our dhal chutney, packed with plant protein and digestive spices. These aren’t just condiments; they’re superfood companions.
3. No Preservatives or Artificial Colours
Most pickles, especially store-bought, are preserved using sodium benzoate or other synthetic agents. Instant chutneys from Daily Farmer use clean-label, 100% natural ingredients. What you get is a farm-to-jar product that supports your health.
Why Instant Chutney Wins on Convenience
Let’s face it—life is busy. Whether you're a student, a working professional, or a home chef, you need options that don’t compromise on nutrition or taste.With our instant chutneys:

The Rise of Groundnut & Peanut Chutneys
The nutty richness of peanut chutney or groundnut chutney is a South Indian favourite. But roasting, grinding, and seasoning peanuts every time you want a dip can be exhausting.Daily Farmer's best peanut chutney mix brings you dry roasted peanuts blended with garlic, curry leaves, and chillies. It’s the same taste you grew up with—without any of the hassle.Looking to buy groundnut chutney dry online? You can now shop directly from our Amazon store or via our website.
