Importance of desi superfood in health and fitness
When health and fitness are discussed, people are often attracted towards expensive exotic foods like blueberries, even if it burns a hole in their pockets. But we ignore the cheap and easily available desi superfoods of our country. According to health expert Lima Mahajan, if cranberry had been promoted like blueberry, its price would not have been so low. In fact, it has more nutrition hidden in it than blueberries.
Cranberry: Powerhouse of Nutrition
This small fruit may seem simple, but its benefits are immense. Cranberries contain amazing compounds like phenolic acids, flavonoids and anthocyanins. It prevents blood sugar levels from rising after your meals, keeps the heart and liver healthy, and keeps your skin young for longer. Additionally, the fiber and pectin present in it improve your digestion. Most importantly, it contains plenty of iron and vitamin C, which prevents anemia in the body.

The best way to take advantage of this seasonal fruit, available between July and September, is to make its spicy chutney. It is very simple to make it. Simply grind cranberries, onion, garlic, green or dried red chillies, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and salt together in a blender. Your delicious and nutritious desi chutney is ready, which you can enjoy with your daily meals.
