Why should you include Mogri in your daily diet?
Not just for its bright, vibrant color, Mogri offers several benefits that make it a must-add to your diet. According to nutritionist Leena Mahajan, you should include mogri because:
1. Promotes healthy skin
Mogri is rich in vitamins and antioxidants which nourish your skin and give it a natural glow.
2. Supports strong bones
These beans contain high amounts of minerals like calcium and phosphorus, which help in strengthening bones and increasing their density.
3. Aids urinary health
Mogri has natural diuretic properties that help detoxify the body and can prevent urinary tract infections.
4. Improves digestion
With its high fiber content, mogri aids smooth digestion, helps prevent constipation and promotes gut health.
5. Promotes heart health
These pods are rich in potassium, which helps control blood pressure, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular problems.
Why should you use only heavy bottom pan to cook Mogri ki Sabzi?
It is essential to use a thick-bottomed pan for even cooking. Since mogri has a delicate texture, it can easily stick to the bottom and burn. These radish beans cook quickly, so a heavy-bottomed pan ensures even distribution of heat. This simple tip will help you enjoy both the taste and benefits of this delicious winter produce.
