Progressive Grocer Magazine - March 2021

In this issue

The current COVID situation has taught us a lot and one of the main things which a lot of health and fitness conscious Indians adapted to rapidly in the lockdown was eating healthy food, even going as far as to look for healthier snacking options. During the lockdown, as restaurants and other food outlets were closed, a majority of the population gave up the idea of eating/ordering junk food and focused more on healthier meals. Among many lifestyle changes noticed, one major one is snacking and indeed our food habits to a great extent.
