Pledge to Eat Indian with Green People and OOO Farms

Every Indian Should Pledge to Eat Indigenous Food

It is said ….’You are what you eat’.

Indigenous food Meaning – It  is a demonstration of how a network might be supported and continued by privately sourced sustenances, without the assistance (or hurt) of handled items. … Evaluate a portion of this indigenous food and crops to up the supplement level in your eating routine and help bolster farming networks far and wide.

One of the many reasons we should pay attention to the foods consumed by us on a daily basis. With the increase of fast food in our fast-paced lifestyle, we have very little time to cook, often looking for shortcuts. We call for home delivery or stop for takeaways on our way back from work. The end results in eating junk food or processed foods that are very low in nutritive value.

At this time, let’s remember our grandmother’s who used to insist on cooking healthy meals in the kitchen, saw to it that the family ate together on the dining table and even feed us with their own hands. How can one forget the dollops of ghee and aromatic Maa ki daal?

Don’t you think Its high time we switch to eating Indigenous Food stuff?

Cook up a recipe with Indigenous Food

 

I used Lal Bhat, also known as lal chawal or red rice for my recipe today. It has a nutty flavor along with the higher nutritional value. Laal bhaat is unpolished rice, hence its a rich source of iron, zinc, potassium, sodium, manganese, minerals, dietary fiber, good carbohydrates, vitamin B1, B6 and B2, iron and calcium. Because of higher nutritive value, it’s advised for heart patients and diabetics.

However, Laal bhat can be cooked up to create a number of rice-based dishes that blow your mind away. Rice can also be used to make rice flour, flaked rice and puffed rice, for use in sweets like puddings, cakes and as a thickening agent for sauces, soups, and stews.
