It is rightly said that “we are what we eat.” The food that we eat every day provides nutrition to fulfil the basic needs of our body and mind. But, for optimal functioning, it is important to cater to the special needs that vary from person to person. Consultant nutritionist Rupali Datta says, “This theory stands true, especially for women. From childhood to puberty to motherhood and menopause, a woman's body undergoes constant changes. And to cater to that, it is equally important to modify the nutritional requirements.” Aligning with these thoughts, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has recently come up with a sample dietary guide for women for their overall nourishment.

While growing up, I fondly remember my mother buying jackfruit whenever I craved something special. In summer, she would prepare a delicious jackfruit curry which I would relish with a hearty bowl of rice. This developed my taste for this fruit, which is also known as “vegetarian chicken.” Jackfruit (or kathhal) is a popular superfood that is enjoyed in summer all over India. Its meat-like texture is what makes it a versatile ingredient to concoct various dishes – from curries to pickles. However, one other reason why jackfruit is loved so much is because of its health benefits. Yes, jackfruit is packed with a variety of nutrients for overall health benefits, especially for the eyes.
