What the Navratras always do for me is to reintroduce bananas back to my diet in a big way. It is a free food according to vrat rules, and so I increasingly resort to it to keep my mid meal hunger pangs away on the days I keep the vrat. And during these days I […]
This year on World Health Day (April 7), the focus is on curbing diabetes, a chronic disease that has affected around 350 million people across the globe. If you think that it is just excess sugar that leads to diabetes, please understand it is not as sweet and simple as that. Who and when one gets […]
Is the potato on his plate healthier than yours? Quite possible actually! Because how we cook and eat the foods impacts the amount of goodness we derive out of them. I have lately been quite obsessed about ‘maxing’ nutrition from what we eat. This actually is my brand of conservation: maxing ‘quality’, not just quantity, […]
Glittering beaches, hillsides stitched with grape vines, glistening sun drenched beaches… there’s lots to love about Greece. But if you ask me, then even above all these, it’s their food that wins hearts (literally too) hands down. Their diet is the healthiest, as well as one of the most delicious, in the world. And that’s […]
We made a big matka full of kanji today for the family, knowing that kaali gajar (black carrots) will go out of season soon and this lot will be last for now, at least till this root vegetable comes back on the vegetable vendors’ carts. Even though I was familiar with kanji (mom would make […]
One food category where I feel there is just too much information floating about, yet too little real understanding actually happening is, you guessed it right – fats. They are most misunderstood! For starters, they have been branded as bad guys and a blanket ban has been issued. But that is far from the truth. […]
Farm to (restaurant) table is a concept that is a huge hit with my psyche. I feel it is a wonderful extension of farm to home, and ensures that when we eat out or order in, then too we are sure of plating food that is intrinsically good for us. Plus, it is a fact […]
Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are the big daddy of legumes. Dating back to about 7500 years, these are eaten extensively across the world. And for a good reason! Both kinds of chickpeas – desi (Bengal gram or kala chana) and kabuli (safed chana) are nutrition powerhouses: 1/2 cup cooked (80 gm) will give […]
I have never understood the flak noodles get… all the time. Agreed it is a high carbohydrate food, but who says carbs are bad – we need them for energy after all and grains do provide nutrients like B complex and multiple minerals that we anyways don’t get to eat enough of. And let’s be […]
We really do need to begin giving credit where it is due. That is, start looking beyond the macronutrients like proteins, fats and carbohydrates and begin focussing instead on boosting the population of the minute bacteria residing inside out gut (stomach and intestine). Yes, right beneath those washboard abs you so desire. ‘Coz the fact […]
