The Founder
Lagom Næring began as something else. Dr. Dhanalakshmi - dentist, yoga therapist, and long-time student of food, nutrition and wellbeing - started with a vision of Nordic × Mediterranean gourmet bowls: clean, beautiful food built from whole ingredients.
Her path to food wasn't accidental. Years in Oslo studying international community health, a PhD focused on physical and mental wellbeing, and a clinical background in dentistry all converge on the same insight: that what we eat every day matters more than any occasional health fix.
The bowls led naturally to a question: what's the ideal accompaniment? Something nutritious enough to stand alone, versatile enough to work with anything, and convenient enough to fit real Indian mornings - where time is scarce and compromise is the default.
The answer was Knäckebröd - the Nordic seed cracker that Scandinavians have eaten for centuries. Three flavours - Classico, Rosemary, Red Chilli - each slow-baked from four seeds. Long shelf life. Genuinely nourishing. A real breakfast platform for Bangalore.
The crackers found their audience before the brand even had a name. From canapés at IKEA FIKA Midsummer to events with the Swedish Chamber of Commerce India, to regular popups at Ericsson Bangalore and collaborations with Red Baron - Swedish guests, food professionals and Bangalore customers tasted them and came back for more. The validation wasn't from marketing. It was from the crunch.
The bowls still inform everything: the Nordic–Mediterranean philosophy, the obsession with whole ingredients, and the belief that good food and good health are not separate pursuits.
What Drives Us
Three principles that shape every decision - what we put in the pack and what we leave out.
No refined flour, no protein isolates, no added sugar. Four whole seeds, organic whole wheat flour, water, cold wood-pressed groundnut oil, salt. That's it. Every ingredient earns its place by being food.
"Lagom" is a Swedish word meaning just the right amount - not too little, not too much. The crackers are dense with nutrition, not engineered for extremes. Good food, eaten well.
Dr. Dhanalakshmi's clinical and research background shapes the ingredient choices - fibre-rich, omega-3-rich, mineral-rich seeds. Not added supplements - the seeds themselves.
Where it all began
Lagom began with Nordic × Mediterranean bowls. The knäckebröd was created as an accompaniment to them - but customers increasingly asked for the crackers themselves, and that demand shaped our focus today.
