There has been a lot of discussion about the term ‘superfood’ for some time now. Nuts, exotic vegetables and other kitchen ingredients that we may not have paid attention to have recently become a major part of our diet today. And while we are changing our lifestyle and adopting these new changes with every passing day, the real question is, is it all worth it? Celeb Nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar’s answer to the question is ‘yes’ and she explains how. The ‘superfood’ she talks about is not a fancy name or an inaccessible thing. It is something as desi as our daily food and comes with a proven host of benefits, Especially for women. This is none other than the fasting favorite sabudana. Rujuta herself calls sago “the quintessential fasting dish” and here’s what she has to say for these super-beneficial tapioca pearls.
