Demand Rises For Bakeware & Ingredients Supplies In India
Guest post by Chitra Choudhary
Ms Chitra Choudhary one of our blogs regular reader shares her frustration on finding bakeware & Ingredient suppliers in Delhi
"We are some of the baking enthusiasts in Delhi who find it difficult to get the baking ingredients and pans for our baking. The sector is unorganized as far as home baking is concerned. We do not get easily fresh yeast, dried yeast and other ingredients which form a vital component of the baking process. I have gone searching personally in the shops and finally got my pans in Old Delhi. It is frustrating and time consuming to search for simple tools of baking here in India. This is not only my experience but also of the numerous home bakers who face the same lack of facilities everywhere in India.
I would like to know whether there are manufacturers in Delhi who can sell their baking ingredients like fresh yeast, dry instant yeast, cooking chocolate, cream cheese for cheesecakes, cake decorating ingredients and tools, baking pans etc. to home bakers like me. India has a very good market for such products and I am confident the suppliers as well as the consumers will be happy if our dream will be fulfilled.
Baking at home is enjoyed by many families and I hope many manufacturers come into this untapped business as soon as possible."
Bakeware business are not so much developed here in India as its in western countries but its promising business . Few stores have been in operations with imported items .More entrepreneurs and manufacturers are required to match the growing demand for bakewares and speciality ingredients for home baking requirements.

Is White Bread Losing Its Popularity ?
What more evidence one want to see that white bread has fallen from its once most sought out bread for even the street hawker for snacks ( tikkiwala) gives option for multi grain, brown or whole grain bread instead of white bread .
White bread which are mass produced are made of wheat flour devoid of bran and germ which are removed while passing through milling process.White bread flour thus doesn't have dietary fibre , iron ,Vitamin B and micro nutrients such as thiamine,riboflavin and niacin . However many countries have food laws making white flour fortification with these nutrients mandatory ( Fortification of bread is not present in Indian PFA act ) .Another important nutrient is folic acid .Removal of bran and germ gives wheat flour a longer shelf life thus making it popular among bread manufacturers .
Popularity of Whole grain or Brown Bread are for following reasons
Recent articles in leading mag/newspaper shows similar trend in other countries
British Bakers
Sale Volumes of Brown /seeded bread has increased by 6.1% from last year and for white bread decreased by 1.4% for the same period
Herald Sun
Health-conscious consumers are driving a trend toward wholegrain and nutrient-laden bread varieties, steadily eroding the popularity of white bread.Sales of breads enriched or fortified with nutrients are growing by 10 to 15 per cent a year, with more than $320 million in sales, a Bread Manufacturing in Australia report by IBISWorld found.
GreenFieldReporter.com
For the first time in 15 years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is proposing new standards for school meals - ones that call for more whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables, fat-free flavored milks, limited servings of potatoes and starchy vegetables, and reduced amounts of sodium and calories.
leaderwheels.com
Whenever you replace white flour with whole grains—in bread, cereal, pasta—it’s a strike against aging. Soluble fiber, found in oats and barley, has been linked to lower levels of insulin and bad cholesterol (think: diabetes and heart disease), and insoluble fiber in whole wheat reduces risk of gastrointestinal maladies like diverticulosis. Check out bread made with the new albino whole wheat—it tastes like the real white thing.

Cadbury Oreo Introduces Low Price Packs
With launch of regular pack size of Rs 10/- and Rs 20/- in Indian brnaded biscuit market Cadbury Oreo is now available in low price tag of Rs 5/- for 29.4 g ( 3 cream sandwiched biscuits ) . Oreo has now joined local players such as Britannia , Parle and ITC competing for volumes over premium ( low price tags ). Consumers who prefers on the move snacks such as school going kids or youngster planning evening hangouts or the budget conscious consumers could be the target for such pricing .
Cadbury Oreo has launched its Rs5/- pack biscuits in a Pile pack arrangement instead of more popular format of On the Edge biscuit pack this arrangement gives a feeling of more biscuit in a pack .Packaging is done with metallised laminate.
Only difference we can figure it out between imported Oreo and now available local Oreo is the strength of shell which cracks up with little pressure while opening the pack . It could be due to flour or baking features done for local Oreo .
