The specialty of clay pots is that food is easily cooked in less oil. This keeps the heart healthy and also keeps obesity under control. For those who are conscious about fitness, this is a natural and safe option.
High heat or pressure cooking can destroy the nutrients of the food. But food cooks slowly in clay pots, due to which vitamins and minerals remain safe. This is the reason why such food gives more energy and strength to the body.
The sweet smell of clay not only entertains the nose, but also gives peace to the mind. When you eat food cooked in such utensils, the mind becomes happy, and this satisfaction of mind opens the way to good nutrition for the body.
Earthen pots are not just a relic of the olden days, they are the need of the hour. It is a Desi option that not only enhances the taste but also improves health.
So the next time you make daal, rice or sabzi — pick up a clay pot and fill your meal with tradition, nutrition and love.
