What ‘No Added Sugar’ Doesn’t Mean (And What to Look For Instead)

Because sometimes what a label doesn’t say says it all. You’ve seen it. Big, bold letters. Front of the pack. Halo font. NO ADDED SUGAR Cue the guilt-free munching. Cue the mental high-five. Cue the... sugar crash? Yeah. Let’s talk. “No Added Sugar” ≠ No Sugar. Let’s Be Clear. When you see no added sugar snacks on the shelf, don’t let the halo blind you. It doesn’t mean your snack is sugar-free. It just means it wasn’t sweetened with white sugar. But sugar has many names. And brands? They know how to play the game. Here’s what no added sugar often doesn’t mean: No added sugar ≠ No sugar No added sugar ≠ Healthy No added sugar ≠ Blood sugar-friendly No added sugar ≠ Good for your gut Sugar, by Any Other Name, Still Spikes Look at the ingredients list. If you see any of these sweet aliases, your body will still respond the same way: Date syrup Fruit juice concentrate Brown rice syrup Evaporated cane juice Coconut sugar Maltodextrin (the villain in yoga pant...

Breaking Up with Rice Flour: A Love Letter to Millets

Because sometimes, love means walking away from the fluffiest, most deceptive carbs. Dear Rice Flour, We had a good run. You were there in my childhood dosas, in those melt-in-the-mouth mom-made snacks, even in my gluten-free phase (remember that?). But lately… I’ve been thinking. This thing we have? It’s not working anymore. It’s not me. It’s definitely you. We Need to Talk About Your Red Flags You seemed harmless, even healthy — after all, you weren’t maida. But you’re still a refined carb in disguise. And while you looked like the “better” option, you: Shot up my blood sugar faster than a double espresso Gave me zero fiber Left me hangry 30 minutes later Didn’t bring much to the table (nutritionally speaking) In short: You’re all fluff, no substance. And I’m finally seeing through the smooth, white façade. Then… Millets Walked In Unlike you, Rice Flour, millets weren’t trying to impress. They were quiet. Earthy. Understated. The kind of carbs you could bring hom...

Why We're Healthy (But Not in a Pretentious Way)

An honest breakdown of what real healthy food is — and what it isn’t. Let’s be real for a moment. The word “healthy” got hijacked somewhere. Today it’s plastered across labels, influencer captions, and billion-dollar food aisles. But too often, it’s just branding. Not real nourishment. It’s been reduced to buzzwords: Gluten-free. Zero-calorie. Keto. Guilt-free. Organic. Vegan-ish. A performance of clean plates, green juices, and algorithm-friendly posts. At Natible, we’re pressing reset. Because healthy doesn’t need filters. Or fancy labels. Or inflated price tags. It just needs to be real. What Healthy Isn’t Let’s call time on the myths the wellness industry sold us: Zero-calorie chips: Usually zero nutrition and 100% chemical fillers. Crash diets: Starvation in a shiny wrapper. “Natural” junk food: If it’s full of additives, it’s not natural — it’s marketing. Imported superfoods: When local millets and pulses were always better. Guilt messaging: Health should empower, ...

How to Build a 'Hot Girl Snack Drawer' That's Actually Healthy

TikTok gave us the hot girl walk. Now it’s time for the hot girl snack drawer—and we’re filling it with real-food glow-ups made from foaxtail millet (yes, foxtail millet for the spelling bees).

Try it: Slide in a packet of [Natible Puffs] (Jowar + foaxtail millet) or meal-prep a [Millet Chilla...

Why Gen Z Is Ditching Oats for Millets — And Owning It

Once upon a breakfast bowl, oats were the main character. Clean. Western. Influencer-approved. But plot twist: Gen Z is done romanticizing the oat life, and falling hard for something more rooted, more real, and frankly, way more badass: Millets. And this isn’t just a trend. It’s a movement. Here’s why Gen Z is ghosting oats and giving millets their well-deserved main character moment. 1. The Reclaiming of Roots Oats? Foreign. Millets? Homegrown heroes. Ragi, Jowar, Foxtail Millet, Bajra — these grains have nourished Indian households for generations, long before “overnight oats” had an Instagram account. Gen Z isn’t here for the colonial hangover of “imported = better.” They’re leaning into indigenous ingredients — food that feels like home and respects heritage. Did you know? Millets were once called "orphan crops" but are now being hailed as the grains of the future. Source: FAO on International Year of Millets 2. Less Processed. More Power. Gen Z reads the back ...

No Palm Oil, No Problem: Clean Snacks You’ll Actually Crave

Palm oil is in nearly everything, from cookies and crackers to chips and even health bars. It’s cheap, it’s shelf-stable, and it gives processed foods that “perfect crunch.” But what’s the real cost of this convenience? If you’re someone who cares about what goes into your body (and the planet), it’s time to rethink your snack shelf. The good news? Clean, delicious, and palm oil-free snacks do exist, and yes, they actually taste amazing. At Natible, we’ve made it our mission to craft wholesome snack foods that skip the palm oil and still bring all the flavor, crunch, and satisfaction you’re craving.

What’s Wrong with Palm Oil Anyway? Palm oil might seem harmless; it’s just another type of vegetable oil, right? Not quite. Here’s why this common ingredient is raising red flags worldwide: Environmental ...
