Ayurvedic Cooking – Spotlight – Mung Beans
Posted by Mary on Jul 13, 2009
Mung (moong) beans are small, cylindrical beans with a bright green skin. In ayurvedic cooking, they are used whole or, more commonly, split and hulled. Split and hulled mung beans are small and yellow and called mung (moong) dhal in India. These beans don’t need pre-soaking and are a snap to cook to butter-soft consistency if you have a pressure cooker. They can also be cooked in a slow cooker or on the stovetop. Sort beans and wash thoroughly before you cook them.
Mung beans are one of the most cherished foods in ayurveda. They are tridoshic–they can be eaten to balance all three doshas, especially when cooked with spices appropriate for each dosha. They are very nourishing, while being relatively easy to digest–they do not generally create abdominal gas or bloating, the drawbacks of larger beans. Persons recuperating are often recommended khichari, a combination of rice and mung beans, because of their ability to provide a good level of nourishment without overtaxing the digestion. They offer the astringent taste.
According to modern nutrition, mung beans offer 14 gms of protein per cooked cup. Mung beans are also a good source of dietary fiber. They also contain thiamin, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and copper, and are a good source of folate.
Mung beans can be eaten on their own, or combined with rice to make khichari, or combined with vegetables and greens to make hearty soups or ground into flour to be used to make crepes or added to breads. Turmeric, cumin, dried ginger and coriander are some spices that work very well with mung beans.
Mung beans are available at Indian groceries or health food stores.
Beneficial Ingredients – Highlight – Haritaki
Posted by Mary on Jul 7, 2009
All seven types of haritaki fruit have their own unique look, flavor and benefits as well as anthraquinone-like (laxative) chemicals, tannins and astringents. Haritaki fruit is part of triphala, the three-fruit formula in Ayurveda. It is generally administered in triphala form rather than by itself to draw upon its tonic effects.
Haritaki has been shown to nourish tissues, particularly the heart, liver, and kidney. It is used to treat diseases of the eye (both internally and externally). In addition, Haritaki, by blocking the ability to utilize sugars, may help to eliminate bacteria and have cholesterol-lowering qualities.

Beneficial Ingredients – Highlight – Jujube
Posted by Mary on Jul 6, 2009
Jujube is a small tree or shrub with thorny branches, green, shiny leaves and edible fruit that, when mature, resembles a date (which led to the nickname Chinese Date). Jujube fruit has been cultivated for over 4,000 years and can grow in a wide range of temperatures—although hot summers are required to successfully produce fruit.
Jujube is known to calm nerves. By grounding the fruit to a powder, small amounts can be used to promptly reduce the effects of stress and purify the blood. In addition, the compound called ziziphin found in jujube leaves can suppress the sweet taste in humans and jujube fruit helps soothe the throat.

Beneficial Ingredients Highlight – Tulsi
Posted by Mary on Jul 4, 2009
Tulsi, also spelled tulasi and referred to as holy basil, is an aromatic plant and, beyond its many culinary purposes, has particular spiritual relevance as well. Some Hindus consider a household incomplete without a tulsi plant and still others provide structural spaces within the home especially for their tulsi. In other spiritual practices, tulsi is used to make necklaces.
Medicinally, tulsi has been known to enhance digestion and intestinal health. The plant’s extracts are also used in remedies for colds, headaches, stomach ailments, inflammation, heart disease and malaria. Recent studies suggest that tulsi may be effective as a painkiller and may help reduce glucose and cholesterol levels. It also has antioxidant properties.

Beneficial Ingredients Highlight – Turmeric
Posted by Mary on Jul 3, 2009
Native to tropical South Asia, turmeric—often misspelled as tumeric—thrives in temperatures between 20 and 30 degree Celsius with plenty of rain. After a process of boiling and then drying turmeric in hot ovens, rhizomes are extracted from it, ground into a powder and used as a spice and dye. Turmeric is used in many food products and can usually be found in curry powders.
Turmeric has demonstrated ability to compliment circulation and digestion. In India, it is used as an antiseptic to treat burns and cuts and Ayurvedic doctors value turmeric for its fluoride.
Curcumin, Turmeric’s active ingredient, has a peppery flavor and smells similar to mustard. The United States National Institutes of Health is conducting four clinical trials to determine if curcumin is an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer, Alzheimer’s and colorectal cancer. Curcumin has been used for thousands of years as a safe anti-inflammatory and may be an effective treatment for psoriasis. Finally, turmeric has demonstrated some ability to help slow down the spread of some cancers.

Beneficial Ingredients Highlight – Amalaki
Posted by Mary on Jul 2, 2009
Amalaki is the keystone of Ayurvedic Medicine because it is the botanical for cellular rejuvenation. For centuries, this small fruit, which grows in the fertile soil at the base of the Himalayas, has often been considered the most effective source for, among other things, promoting cellular rejuvenation, enhancing immune function, and increasing vitality.
More recently, many of these miraculous benefits have been explained, as scientists and nutritionists around the world have documented its properties and unique makeup. Furthermore, the fruit is wildcrafted, a harvesting technique where the amalaki is taken from trees as they are found in nature, hand-picked according to ancient techniques.
