My guest column for @HTBrunch on the true nature of sabudana and the nuance of nutrition which always comes from digging deeper - hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/brun…
The complexity and confounding nature of nutrition make it difficult to pinpoint cause and effect, but there is no grey area when it comes to factory-made food products. No good comes from eating these highly processed products.
Ingredients like rava, maida, vermicelli (semia), poha, sabudana are regularly used in our Indian kitchens. The fact that these are desi foods doesn't make them nutrient-rich by default. Each of these undergoes processing of the original ingredient to varying degrees.
Are these better than boxed cereals and ready-to-eat foods that come from a packet? They definitely are. But the fact is they are not whole foods. It's ok to consume them but know what their true nature is and not be mistaken that these are superfoods.
