In India Guar being an heritage crop is been grown for many years, Most of it from rain-fed fields on marginal land located in semi-arid states of Northern India – Rajasthan, Punjab,Haryana and Gujarat
Because it is rain-fed, and not watered from irrigation, Guar does not draw from ground water natural resources nor impact communities’ water supplies.
Historically, Guar Beans were grown as a sustenance crop that was an important food and nourishment source for people and animals in poor communities.
Today, Ashok Industries group actively supports family farmers to use sustainable farming methods through farming education programs and ongoing activities. No synthetic fertilizer, herbicide or pesticide, no genetically modified seed (no GMO) or no groundwater is used to grow our Guar Beans. Also, the plants are for crop rotation to naturally replenish the soil with essential nutrients and fertilizers.

From food and beverages to Cosmetics, oil and gas and pharmaceuticals, this widespread thickener derived from the seed of a drought-resistant legume is just about everywhere.
