KINNAURI SATTU

Description

Sattu originated in Tibet where it is known as ‘Tsampa’. It was believed to be a staple for monks who used to travel places to gain enlightenment. Fascinatingly, Sattu played an important role in the 1999 Kargil War too. Kinnauri Sattu is made from the dry powder of organically grown barley and Oat. Sattu is a great ingredient to add to your daily diet if you want to stay fit and disease free. A drink made out of Sattu is a great drink to quench your thirst during summer. It prevents the body from overheating and brings down the body temperature significantly. The dry-roasting process by which Sattu is made, seals in all the nutrients. It is rich in protein, fibre, calcium, iron, manganese and magnesium. Sattu has high amounts of insoluble fibre which is great for the intestines. It cleanses the colon, detoxifies it of greasy food, constipation and acidity. Sattu is a low-glycemic index food and is a great option for diabetics. It keeps blood sugar levels in control and regulates blood pressure. The high fibre in it is great for those suffering from high cholesterol.
