Ayurveda’s view on cooking and eating strategies. Try six Ayurveda-oriented cutlery items to improve the healthy tastes of your products.
COPPER VESSELS
The presence of copper helps in digestion and balances the doshas because it has antibacterial properties. This is good for the storage of water and cooking, hence promoting overall health effects.
CAST IRON COOKWARE
Cast iron is an iron-rich and solid material that distributes heat evenly, giving food the necessary minerals, promoting health, and balancing the vata dosha.
CLAY POTS
The clay pot is porous and natural, hence retaining moisture. This results in the slow cooking of foodstuffs. The cooked food contains all the nutrients without losing important flavours. Finally, it balances Pitta dosha.
WOODEN UTENSILS
Wooden utensils do not react, and hence chemicals cannot affect the food. This is according to the dosha principle of kapha.
BRASS UTENSILS
Brass is used to make cooking vessels as it has antimicrobial properties that promote digestion and the cleansing of doshas for overall well-being.
STAINLESS STEEL COOKWARE
It also has stainless steel, which is versatile and simple to clean in a way that it does not disturb any flavour of the foods being cooked so much as all the doshas can be combined into one balanced cooking method.
CONCLUSION
Using Ayurvedic utensils in food preparation enhances flavour and balances doshas. Ensure you engage a qualified Ayurvedic specialist for help.
