It’s a matter of Bread and Butter

1. It’s a matter of Bread and Butter A lot of reports are making rounds in India about a new report published by the Centre of Environment and Science (CSE) which claims that bread samples collected from Harvest Gold, Britannia, Le Marche, KFC, Pizza Hut, Domino’s, McDonald’s, Slice of Italy and Subway in Delhi are hazardous to one’s health, and potentially causes cancer. This was a shocking revelation as almost every household has started to rely upon breads for their breakfasts and evening snacks. Since it becomes easier to heat and eat bread, it is also decently tasty coupled with milk in the morning. Kids just love their breads and so do we. But now, with the reports claiming several life threatening consequences of consistently consuming bread, it has become difficult to make a choice for breakfast. However, at Organic Insights, we thought of bringing you some exciting breakfast options that are not just easy to cook but also, amazingly delicious as a quick food. 1.Organic Poha is the killer when it comes to healthy and nutritious breakfast options. I cook it atleast twice a week to ensure that the balance of health and taste is maintained at my home. There are several companies that offer organic poha like Down To Earth, GreenSense, Naturally Yours and Organic Tattva. Poha is basically flattened dehusked rice in the form of dry flakes. The USP of Poha is that it is easily digestible and quite filling at the same time. Rice flakes are good source of complex carbohydrates that provides energy, is high in fiber and rich in protein. Rice flakes are lactose free, fat free and a good source of essential vitamins and minerals including iron. For people who are always busy, this can be a quick nutritious ingredient to your everyday diet that keeps you fit and fine. These days you get various options in Organic Poha. There is organic red poha, organic white poha, and many such available in the market. Pair these up with mustard seeds, curry leaves and as much fresh veggies as are available including peas, carrots, cauliflower and even potato to fry in an aromatic paste of onions and tomato with a hint of lemon after cooked and your recipe to a great nutritious day begins with an awesome start. 2.Organic Dalia is something that is hassle free, packed with adequate amounts of calcium, iron and essential vitamins and yet tasty for breakfast. Infact, we can fit this in

2. our daily regime to replace our little tid bits when we start munching all the chips and fried calories. Organic Dalia is essentially the closest you may get to your natural diet requirements. It is an excellent source of carbohydrate, rich in fiber, starch and gluten and so it releases glucose very slowly in the blood, hence helps in maintaining blood sugar level and reduce cholesterol level. Either sweet or salty, this is one thing that deserves a space in your kitchen for yourself and especially for kids. Again, the key is to add veggies when you are cooking salted organic dalia so that the combined goodness of veggies and organic dalia can bring in the perfect duo as your ideal choice for an energy filled breakfast. These days there are different variation to organic dalia, namely, organic wheat dalia, organic barley dalia, organic jowar dalia, so on and so forth. 3.Organic Upma– cooked as a thick porridge from dry roasted semolina or coarse rice flour, this is a yet another yummy dish for a healthy tummy. This is my favorite dish and it again tastes absolutely delicious if we add fresh organic veggies in the dish. The dish is quite famous in Southern India but due to its strikingly healthy properties, it is lovingly adopted in every region with minor variations. People across age variations, be it kids, adults and old people, love this as this is again easy to digest and packed with nutrition that supports growth and development of especially the brain. Brands like Nature N Me, Down To Earth and many such organic food product brands offer genuine, certified organic upma both online and at shops near you. 4.Organic Besan– Dhokla, originated from Gujarat as a dish, is probably the biggest hit with North Indians. This is not just eaten for breakfast, but is also a special evening snack for people who love taste and at the same time, want to ignore breads and other processed food. Organic Besan is made from ground chickpea which is protein free and most importantly gluten-free. 5.Sprouts– Sprouted Organic Moong Dal is probably the healthiest pick up from all the other major bread replacement breakfast recipes so far. And there is no gas cooking required (optional). To make it more chatpata, people add salt, tomato, potato and onions with a hint of cardamom, lemon and black pepper. This is a great way to not just kick off a protein rich, zero calorie breakfast, but you may also carry this along to your work and replace it as a mid-meal snacker. These are only five such Indian healthy foods that can be much exciting than breads which are potentially harmful to our health to an extent that it might cause cancer.
