Climate-smart breakfast biscuits
Kanira is a line of wholegrain biscuits created by Indian American entrepreneur Vishal Ramakrishnan for a fast and nutritious breakfast on-the-go.
Inspired by the much loved South Asian ritual of starting the day with ‘biscuits and tea’, Ramakrishnan revamped the classic biscuit with vibrant spice-driven flavours, along with nutrient-rich and climate smart pearl millet (an under-the-radar superfood native to India).
According to Ramakrishnan, Kanira is the first South Asian breakfast product to hit the ‘better-for-you’ industry.
Each two-bite, crunchy wholegrain biscuit is subtly savoury with a punch of antioxidant-rich spices and a hint of caramel-like sweetness from coconut sugar.
Kanira's central ingredient, pearl millet, is rich in prebiotic fibre, protein, iron and essential vitamins and minerals such as zinc, magnesium and potassium for nutrition, energy and sustenance.
It is a low sugar alternative to most other breakfast biscuits.
One serving size of 5 biscuits is packed with 4g of protein, 4g of fibre and only 6g of sugar. It is also naturally vegan, gluten-free and void of refined sugar, artificial flavours and preservatives.
Available at selected retailers across the US, the variety pack has an RRP of $26.99.
