Why Monsoons Call for Wholesome, Warming Foods
Monsoon brings cool breezes, misty mornings, and cozy afternoons, but it also introduces a season where immunity can dip and digestive discomfort becomes common. Humidity affects metabolism and makes the body more vulnerable to infections, especially in children and the elderly.
This is the time to switch to healthy monsoon recipes made with traditional Indian grains like Khapli Atta, which is light on the stomach and high in nutrition. Choosing organic food products during monsoons is not just a preference; it becomes a necessity. Pesticide-free, stoneground organic atta retains its fiber and nutrients, aiding digestion and boosting immunity, making it an ideal choice for rainy season recipes.
What Makes Khapli Atta Ideal for the Monsoon Season
Khapli Atta, also known as Emmer Wheat, is a low-gluten wheat flour that's rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and essential minerals.
