FERMENTED CURD RICE - HEALTHY BENEFITS..

KHULJAA SIM SIM !! A BIG HIDDEN TREASURE INSIDE THIS AUTHENTIC EARTHEN POT :-) ANY GUESSES??

Fermented curd rice also called as PAZHAYA SAADAM, in southern parts of India, is a neglected "VITAMIN STORE" . In olden days the farmers and hard working people used to have this easy to prepare food as their breakfast. And believe me it did great magic with their bodies, by giving them intense energy throughout the day and a feel of coolness from inside their body while they worked hard in the extreme hot sun in their fields.
So, whats so special about this fermented curd rice??
Rice, as we all know is a CARB, and we tend to believe it increases our blood sugar levels, and more intelligent people thinks it shoots up ur insulin levels.. Soaking rice overnight makes the starch resistant and thus escapes the digestion process and thus no piling up calories into ur body. Thus we can say soaked rice has 60% lesser calories compared to freshly cooked rice. People suffering from excess weight, just try this as your regular breakfast and check your weight drop over a period of time :-)
Another fantastic property of the fermented rice is that the soaking process breaks down  the PHYTIC ACID IN RICE and relieves a lot of minerals which are bound phytic acid making them unavailable to our body. Once the phytic acid is destroyed, minerals like IRON, CALCIUM, PHOSPHORUS, ZINC, MAGNESIUM are available for absorption into our body and the rest is history :-)
The fermented rice is also a good source of LACTIC ACID and helps in lactation in lactating mothers.
The so called probiotics (good bacteria) nowadays are also plenty in this superfood, there are trillions of bacteria in this food and these in turn  helps in formation of B-COMPLEX VITAMINS, MAINLY B6 & B12. ( SO THIS COOL OVERNIGHT SOAKED CURD RICE CAN BE UR VITAMIN  B12 PILL) VEG SOURCE OF B12)
Other benefits are, it helps in reliving CONSTIPATION, REDUCES BP, REDUCES CHOLESTEROL with its fibre content, improves STOMACH AILMENTS, ULCERS, INFECTIONS etc..It is also known to improve the skin texture as it strengthens the collagen in our skin and helps in a youthful and radiant look :-)
