Introduction

Your gut is often called your ‘second brain’ — and for good reason. The trillions of bacteria living in your digestive system influence everything from your mood and energy levels to your immunity and skin. Yet most Indians still reach for processed, palm-oil-laden snacks that quietly wreak havoc on this delicate ecosystem. The gut-health revolution is here, and it starts with what you snack on.

At Biome (Global Biome Foods), we believe that everyday snacking should work for your body, not against it. That’s why we created Grabeto — a range of roasted, baked, palm-oil-free snacks designed around the principles of clean nutrition and gut wellness.

What Is Gut Health and Why Does It Matter?

Gut health refers to the balance and function of the microbiome — the community of bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms living in your digestive tract. A healthy gut microbiome:

• Supports efficient digestion and nutrient absorption
• Strengthens the immune system (up to 70% of immunity originates in the gut)
• Regulates mood through the gut-brain axis
• Reduces inflammation linked to chronic disease
• Maintains healthy body weight

When this balance is disrupted — often through ultra-processed foods, refined sugar, and excess saturated fats — it creates dysbiosis, which is increasingly linked to everything from bloating and fatigue to anxiety and autoimmune conditions.

The Snacking Problem in India

India’s snack market is massive, but the majority of options are deep-fried in palm oil, loaded with artificial flavours, and stripped of nutritional value. Urban Indian consumers are increasingly health-conscious, yet finding a snack that is genuinely good for you — and still tastes amazing — has remained a challenge.

💡 Over 60% of Indian urban consumers report looking for ‘healthier’ snack options, yet most brands simply rebrand existing products with wellness messaging.

Grabeto is different. Every product in our range is rooted in ingredient integrity: ancient grains like ragi and millet, plant proteins from moth beans and soya, and zero compromise on the gut-health front.

What Makes a Snack Gut-Friendly?

When choosing snacks that support your gut, look for these markers:

1. High Dietary Fibre

Fibre feeds beneficial gut bacteria (prebiotics). Millets, legumes, and whole grains are excellent sources. Grabeto’s Multi Millet Chips and Crunchy Ragi Millet Mix are naturally fibre-rich.

2. Plant-Based Protein

Protein from legumes supports gut lining repair and maintains satiety without burdening digestion. Grabeto’s Moth Protein Bhujiya packs serious plant protein.

3. No Palm Oil

Palm oil — ubiquitous in Indian snacks — has been linked to increased gut permeability. All Grabeto products are 100% palm-oil-free.

4. Minimal Processing

Roasted and baked snacks preserve more nutritional value than deep-fried alternatives. Grabeto uses dry-roasting and baking methods across its entire range.

5. Clean Ingredient Lists Short, recognisable ingredient lists mean fewer additives that can disrupt the microbiome. Grabeto’s clean-label philosophy means you always know what you’re eating
