There has been a lot of hype around the word ‘superfood’ of late. Nuts, exotic vegetables and other kitchen ingredients that we did not pay heed to, have recently become a major part of our diet today. And while we are changing our lifestyle and adapting to these new changes with every passing day, the real question is that is it all worth it? Celeb nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar’s answer to the question is a big ‘Yes’ and she even explains how. The ‘superfood’ that she talks about is no fancy name, or inaccessible item. It is but something as desi as our everyday meals and comes with a proven host of benefits, especially for women. It is none other than the vrat favourite, sabudana. Rujuta herself terms sabudana as the “quintessential upavas delicacy” and here is what she has to say for these ultra-beneficial tapioca pearls.
