DCN TIP
In case you are not able to find other roasted grains, then any single grain or only chana is equally beneficial.Carry the dry roasted grain mixture and the salad separately to work. Mix them whenever you feel the hunger pangs in between the meals. You have an instant, healthy snack at hand. Also, it prevents the grains from becoming soggy. (happens when they are pre-mixed for long hours)
