Masalas With Medicinal Benefits We all have grown up seeing our mothers and grandmothers cooking some amazing feel good dishes. In those times of growing up, khada masala wasn’t very easily available in the market as it is today. The spices had to be carefully picked based on their smell, roasted and then finally ground, blending the taste of all of them together, giving us the mesmerizing aroma and the perfect taste when added to the dish. Today, we have come a long way, with everything available in the market and even online. It is ready to make so all you have to do it just open the cap of the bottle and directly add it to the dish while cooking. And what’s amazing is, it more usually than not, tastes the same too. The magic that our mom and grand mom created in the kitchen still prevails. While we can give credit to the spices we use for the wonderful taste that it gives to the dish, we cannot neglect the kind of medicinal properties it brings with it. If you consider the black pepper powder, it does not just make your pasta taste better, it also makes sure that you have a good digestion process. Also, it acts as mouth freshener too. Black pepper is also used in treating conditions like anemia, colic, heart trouble and diabetes. You can consult your doctor for the same. It keeps your food fresh too. I remember as a kid, my mother would put some black pepper or clove in the box that we used to store our rice of other grains in. This helps to keep the germs away and keeps the food fresh. Even if you add it to the dish while cooking, the black pepper ensures that the food does not go stale in any way. Black pepper is also known to be rich in vitamins and minerals, which are very essential to the growth and wear and tear in your body. It contains good amount of Vitamin A and C. Among minerals it contains Iron, Calcium, Phosphorus and Zinc. Black pepper is also known to be high in its anti-oxidant property. Many studies have shown black pepper to show a good level of oxidant consumption showing a positive effect on the body. Other than this, black pepper is also known to absorb nutrients like no other. We may provide our body with food which is very important for our body in terms of nutrition. But if the nutrients do not get absorbed, what’s the use? Black pepper does just that. So, the next time you fall sick and are wondering what can you add to your chicken soup that can instantly make you feel better and also help you treat your cold and cough, you know which spice to turn to.
