Telugu heirloom recipes · Est. 2022
Pickles and karam podis from a Telugu kitchen — made in small batches, in cold-pressed oils, with nothing added that you wouldn’t add at home.
Start here
On a pleasant sunny afternoon of ’95, a little girl, carrying a bag full of homemade pickles, podis, sweets and snacks — carefully packed by her and Devi garu (mum) — dreamt of them reaching the world one day.
In 2022, that dream was ESTD. as “Edin Life”.
We hope to see you along this journey of making the dreams of many more girls like Edin come true. One step at a time :)
Edin Life is a home grown label that brings you hand-made, small batch products using the age-old authentic recipes of the Telugu household. Our pickles and karam podis are made with 100% cold pressed oils, using ingredients sourced from small farmers in and around Telangana. We are sustainable, 100% preservative free, all natural — free of artificial colours, preservatives and additives.
What we stand for
All our ingredients are ethically sourced from local farmers directly. Cleaned and hand-ground in our kitchen.
Zero waste! All food waste goes back into the ground. We re-cycle and re-use as much as we can.
We are additive and preservative free — and it’s non-negotiable!
Why we do what we do
Earth and food: the two most important factors of our life. As a kid, I enjoyed food without worrying about additives, and a pleasant afternoon bicycle ride in peak summers without being burnt.
The irony of the modern world — we add preservatives and additives to ease distribution and supply chains, to pickling: a process invented to preserve vegetables and extract the most nutrition out of them. And our heavy dependence on use-and-throw solutions is burning us up.
Our mission? Get back to basics — starting with pickles and karam podis, in food and in mindfully practising and advocating sustainability.
Join us in preserving our health and future — one step at a time!
Let’s start with
Being conscious of what we eat. Buy local. Buy from small business. Buy fresh from farmers markets.
Re-use and re-cycle what we already have. Start small — carry your own shopping bag and a water bottle to refill, refuse plastic.
Separate all vegetable waste and put it into the ground. Use it as compost for your garden. Grow your own everyday greens.
