New Delhi, 10 December. Winter brings many superfoods that not only keep the body warm but also provide complete nutrition, such as sesame, jaggery, peanuts, and chulai (amaranth).
While chulai leaves are commonly eaten in winter, chulai seeds are a rich source of iron. These tiny seeds offer warmth and protect the body from infections during cold weather.
Chulai seeds are known by various names including rajgira, ramdana, chulai, and amaranth. Many Bollywood celebrities include amaranth in their gluten-free diets. Chulai is a medicinal plant, with its seeds, leaves, and stalk all having health benefits. It contains abundant iron, protein, vitamin A, and fiber. Its consumption is beneficial for everyone, from the elderly to pregnant women, helping to prevent anaemia by increasing haemoglobin levels in the body.
Chulai seeds act as natural antioxidants. They enhance the body’s ability to fight harmful viruses and reduce harmful bacteria. Additionally, they help repair body cells, acting like a tonic for cell regeneration.
If a person feels weak or a pregnant woman is suffering from blood deficiency, laddus made from chulai seeds can help overcome weakness and anaemia. However, it is advisable to consume these laddus only during winter, as they have a warming effect on the body.
Chulai seeds are also rich in calcium. Nursing mothers experiencing low milk supply or weakness may benefit from them. They help naturally increase milk production. Chulai seeds can be consumed in various forms such as roti, puri, pakoras, or khichdi.
High fiber content in chulai seeds makes them easy to digest and helps prevent constipation. Consuming chulai seeds with jaggery during winter doubles the benefits. Together, they keep the body warm and provide fresh energy.
