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

 bakeware "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."

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

  • Consumers are now  more health conscious  than  ever before  with information available  easily to majority population on advantage of  whole grain breads  .
  • Availability  of  options   to  consumers  for white bread  by manufacturers who are now producing  breads such as whole grain , multi grain  breads (.Manufacturers like Harvest Gold and Bonn have introduced healthy options of whole grain breads ).

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.

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.

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 .
