Have you started including Jowar in your diet?

Image
Jowar is commonly known as sorghum in English, Cholam in Tamil Nadu and Jonna in Andhra Pradesh, and Juvar in Gujarat. It is the most versatile millet and has been used since ancient times in India. Jowar is generally found in tropical and subtropical climates. Research shows that jowar has been consumed for over 4000+years, so it has been rightly called an ancient grain. Earlier people used to make roti, bhakri, and porridge from jowar but in the last couple of decades, it had lost its place in the Indian diet. These days as people have become more health-conscious, they have rediscovered the benefits of jowar and have started substituting wheat and rice with jowar.  Jowar is a gluten-free and healthy alternative that is rich in fiber. Studies show that jowar is the fifth-largest cereal crop grown and consumed. You can consume it in all seasons, and it is readily available in any local store. Being gluten-free and power-packed with nutrition, it can be given to kids and old ag...

Switching from Sugar to Organic jaggery but not sure about the benefits? Are you a health enthusiast who loves sweets, but wondering what to substitute sugar with? Then this post is for you… Sugar has been the most integral part of Indian meals; be it desert, shakes, or drinks, everything contains sugar. However, regular sugar contains 99.9% sucrose which is a combination of glucose and fructose. The sugar though made from jaggery is stripped off its minerals, color, and moisture to turn into the sugar crystals that we see. These crystals are higher in calories and are considered empty-calorie food. WHO recommends no more than 3-4 spoons of sugar a day to live a healthy and disease-free life.  Organic Jaggery, on the other hand, is healthier and has many benefits as well.

It’s one of the good fat and healthiest dairy products which is easily available in Indian kitchen. Earlier there were only two types of ghee: buffalo ghee and cow ghee, but recently A2 cow’s ghee has been spoken about a lot. Ghee is pure fats, and it also contains a small amount of protein. There are two types of proteins found in milk; Casein and Whey. Difference between A1 and A2 Ghee While this is scientific, it will help explain the difference in a molecular term. The difference between A1 and A2 is a difference of 67th amino acid chain, A2 has proline amino acid, and A1 has histidine.
