Shravan, Festivals, and the Power of Pure Oils in Clean Eating

As the holy month of Shravan begins, many households across India shift to simpler, lighter meals, aligning with both spiritual values and seasonal health. It’s a time of devotion, fasting, and mindful consumption, where what we eat plays a significant role in how we feel.

This transition isn’t just cultural, it’s deeply rooted in how our bodies respond to the monsoon season. Shravan falls during a time when digestion naturally weakens, and immunity can fluctuate. Lighter, home-cooked meals made with clean ingredients help support the body’s balance.

One critical but often overlooked ingredient in this process is cooking oil.

Why Oil Matters in Seasonal Wellness

While many are careful with vegetables and grains during Shravan, the oil used in everyday cooking can quietly make or break a healthy meal. Most commercial refined oils are heavily processed, treated with chemicals, and stripped of essential nutrients. When the body is already sensitive, such oils can add unnecessary strain.

At Nuova, we focus on preserving what truly matters — purity, nutrition, and tradition.

Cold-Pressed Oils: A Return to the Essentials

Nuova's lakdi ghana (wooden churned) cold-pressed oils are extracted using slow, traditional methods that retain nutrients, natural aroma, and flavor. These oils are free from chemicals, preservatives, and artificial additives — just as nature intended.

Each variety in our oil range serves a unique purpose during this festive season:

Sesame oil supports digestion and is ideal for satvik meals and tempering.

Mustard oil enhances immunity and brings warmth to seasonal dishes.

Groundnut oil offers balanced fats and energy — great for light cooking during fasts.

Coconut oil promotes gut health and is widely used in South Indian festive preparations.

By using traditional methods, we ensure the oils remain nutrient-rich, easy to digest, and supportive of overall well-being — especially during times when the body and mind are seeking clarity and balance.

Festivals and Food as a Ritual

Shravan is filled with meaningful festivals, Nag Panchami, Raksha Bandhan, Janmashtami each marked by meals prepared with care and intention. At Nuova, we believe the ingredients used in these meals should reflect the same purity as the occasion itself.

Our oils are not just cooking mediums, they are a return to honest, mindful nourishment.

Choose Purity This Season

Shravan is a reminder that simplicity is strength. Whether you're observing a fast, preparing a festive meal, or simply being more intentional about your food choices, what you cook with matters as much as what you eat.

Nuova cold-pressed oils bring purity, health, and flavor back into your kitchen — not just for this season, but as a long-term shift toward better living.
