Over generations, Indian families, particularly from Gujarat and neighboring regions, journeyed to East Africa, bringing with them a rich tapestry of traditions and flavors.
In the early 20th century, these families, drawn by opportunities on the railways and in burgeoning enterprises, found new homes in the towns and villages of East Africa.Life in this new world was a mosaic of challenges and triumphs. Amidst the hustle of daily life, one tradition remained a cornerstone of community and comfort: the ritual of Nasto and Chai. This simple, yet profound practice became a beacon of togetherness, transcending the trials and tribulations of the day.
Imagine, as the sun dipped below the horizon, families and friends gathering, united by the inviting aroma of spices and the warmth of freshly brewed chai. Plates of Nasto, rich with the fusion of Indian and East African flavors, passed from hand to hand, symbolizing a shared experience, a momentary escape into a world of flavor and fellowship.At Natures Bazaar, we cherish this legacy.
Our journey has been to honor the tradition of Nasto and Chai, not just as a snack, but as a celebration of heritage and unity. We've lovingly revitalized traditional recipes, infusing them with the spirit of both India and East Africa. Our Kenyan Chewra and Gatha, among other delights, are not just food; they are stories, memories, and a bridge between generations.
Crafted with care, our vegan, all-natural range is a tribute to those communal moments, a modern rendition of an age-old tradition. As you savor our Nasto and sip our chai, we invite you to open your heart to the inner warmth of shared histories and the joy of togetherness.We hope that with each bite, you feel not just the taste of tradition, but also the enduring spirit of community that has always been at the heart of this simple, yet profound ritual. Thank you for being a part of this journey, a journey that goes beyond food, into the heart of culture and connection
