Thali: A Nutrition Powerhouse
The Indian thali is more than just a meal; it's a balanced blend of macronutrients and micronutrients, perfect for good health. It supports gut health and reduces the risk of chronic diseases. This National Nutrition Week, let's celebrate the magic of the thali!
Balanced Nutrition in One
The Indian thali offers balanced nutrition in a single meal. It is a practical way to ensure you're getting a variety of grains, legumes, vegetables, and dairy. Focusing on locally available, indigenous ingredients, such as millets, can boost its nutritional value.
Local Ingredients Boost
Enhancing your thali with local and indigenous ingredients, such as nutrient-dense millets and leafy greens, takes it to the next level. Encouraging dietary variety by rotating different grains, legumes, veggies, and dairy forms can add to the nutritional benefits.
