The Reality

1in 3

Americans lives with prediabetes or diabetes.

"Most snack foods make it worse. We built a mindful alternative."

Posha honors traditional Panjri roots by using low-GI nuts, seeds, and lentils roasted in ghee—sweetened entirely with whole dates.

Not a granola. Not a protein bar. Not a sugar bomb.

The Science

Glycemic Index - The Science of Slower Energy

The Glycemic Index (GI) measures how quickly a food raises your blood sugar after eating. Foods are scored on a scale of 0 to 100 — the lower the score, the slower and more stable the effect on your energy.

Over 37 million Americans have diabetes. Another 115 million have prediabetes. That's 1 in 3 adults living with blood sugar as a daily concern — not a future risk, a present reality. South Asian communities carry a disproportionately high burden, nearly 2–4 times higher than the general population. But this isn't a niche problem. It's an American one. And the foods most people reach for — granolas, energy bars, processed snacks — are making it worse. Posha was built for a different answer. Every ingredient was chosen with GI in mind.

🟢

Low GI: 55 or below

Sustained, steady energy without the sudden refined sugar crash. The natural sweet spot for a mindful lifestyle.

🟡

Medium GI: 56–69

Moderate impact. Fine in small amounts. Context and quantity matter.

🔴

High GI: 70 and above

Rapid glucose changes. A category of processed cane sugars and refined flours that Posha chooses to entirely replace.

Every Ingredient. Full Transparency.

Low GI ingredients. Here's the proof.

GI scores sourced from internationally recognised glycemic index databases and peer-reviewed nutritional research.

Ingredient	GI Score	Classification	Why It's In Posha	Health Benefit
Moong Dal (Mung Beans)	25–38	Low GI	Packed with protein and complex dietary fibre — the base that gives Posha its body and staying power.	Supports gut health, supports steady metabolic energy, high in folate and magnesium.
Desi Ghee (Clarified Butter)	0	Low GI	Pure healthy fat with zero carbohydrates. Provides a rich, nutrient-dense source of slow-burning fats and carries fat-soluble nutrients deep into the body.	Supports brain function, joint health, and nutrient absorption. Rich in CLA and butyrate.
Dates	40–55	Low GI	Our only sweetener. Whole fruit — fibre intact, minerals preserved. Sweetness that comes with nutritional value.	Natural source of iron, potassium, and fibre. Slower sugar release than any refined sweetener.
Almonds	10–15	Low GI	Rich in monounsaturated fats and structural fibre that slow glucose absorption throughout the recipe.	Heart health, brain health, vitamin E, magnesium.
Pumpkin Seeds	10	Low GI	Extremely low carbohydrate density — dominated by healthy fats, zinc, and magnesium.	Prostate health, sleep support (tryptophan), anti-inflammatory.
Raisins	54–64	Medium GI	The one medium GI ingredient — used in small quantities for natural sweetness and iron content. Naturally balanced by the surrounding fats and proteins in the recipe.	Iron, potassium, natural antioxidants (resveratrol).
Char Magaz (Watermelon Seeds)	10	Low GI	Extremely low carbohydrate density, packed with protein and healthy fats. A traditional Punjabi ingredient most snack brands have never heard of.	High in magnesium, supports heart health and blood pressure.
Makhane (Fox Nuts)	45–50	Low GI	Complex starches paired with plant proteins — slow-releasing energy that sustains without the refined crash.	Anti-ageing properties, kidney support, rich in calcium and antioxidants.
Ajwain (Carom Seeds)	10–15	Low GI	Dense in essential oils (thymol) and soluble fibre. A traditional digestive aid used in Punjabi cooking for centuries.	Digestive health, anti-bloating, antimicrobial properties.
Char Goond (Edible Gum)	20–35	Low GI	Pure plant sap composed almost entirely of soluble prebiotics. A postpartum staple in traditional panjiri — traditionally utilized in ancestral postpartum wellness.	Prebiotic gut support, joint lubrication, traditionally used for postpartum recovery.
Kamarkas (Butea Monosperma)	10–20	Low GI	Highly astringent plant resin composed of tannins and fibre. One of the rarest ingredients in Posha — irreplaceable in traditional panjiri.	Anti-inflammatory, traditionally valued for restorative comforting nutrition and postpartum recovery.
Sund (Dry Ginger Powder)	15	Low GI	Principally composed of bioactive gingerols with negligible sugar content. Adds warmth and digestive support.	Anti-nausea, anti-inflammatory, circulation support, digestive aid.
Dry Coconut	40–45	Low GI	Highly concentrated in fibre and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) — slow-burning fuel for the brain and body.	MCTs for energy and cognition, fibre for gut health, antimicrobial lauric acid.
Saunf (Fennel Seeds)	15	Low GI	Minimal glycemic impact due to high fibre and active anethole compounds. A traditional digestive and breath freshener.	Digestive health, anti-bloating, supports lactation traditionally.
