Chikka Chikka is made in the Hudson Valley in New York State. We produce and package our tins in cooperation with a non-profit in Poughkeepsie, NY that provides employment opportunities to veterans and people with disabilities. 

The facility is a gluten-free and nut-free facility. They do mostly packaging and shipping for food brands and they roast coffee.

The maple syrup is local from New York. The coriander, fennel, and cardamom, are from India. The cinnamon is from Sri Lanka. The mint is from Oregon.

We like bright colors also! But we like them better on the packaging and not in our bodies. Those colorful balls are made from sugar and artificial colors and flavors. We wanted to make something healthier.

We slow roast the fennel with maple syrup and then mix the rest of the ingredients.

½ teaspoon at a time. Maybe limit yourself to one container per day. Good luck ;)

Not all ingredients, but the maple syrup, beet powder, cinnamon, mint, and spirulina are organic. We are currently looking for organic fennel and split coriander. More importantly, we have had everything tested by a third p[arty lab (EMSL), and they show no traces of pesticides.

Early this year, 2024.

Sabeen has a fennel seed habit that is a bit out of control. She would roast her own seeds and sweeten and mix them because she couldn’t find a product out there that wasn’t filled with artificial junk.  When we brought some on a hiking trip with our friends Joel and Molly they loved it saying ‘we would totally buy this’, and 'where can we get some?.' That is all we needed to hear to decide to start this venture. 

Fennel is considered an alkaline food and raises the pH in your mouth and digestive system to create a healing microbiome; increasing evidence that oral health is tied to myriad health conditions.
