Healthy Recipe Ideas
Masala Chai with a Hint of Brown Sugar
Boil water with 1-inch crushed ginger, 2 cardamom pods, and 2 cloves. Add 1 tsp of black tea leaves and brew for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of milk and bring to a simmer. Strain into a cup and stir in 1/2 tsp of brown sugar to taste.
Health Benefits

Healthy Whole Wheat Atta Ladoo
In a pan, dry roast 1 cup of whole wheat flour (atta) on low heat until aromatic. Transfer to a bowl. In the same pan, melt 2 tbsp of ghee and lightly roast 1/4 cup of chopped almonds and cashews. Add the nuts, 1/2 tsp cardamom powder, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar to the roasted atta. Mix well and form into small ladoos while the mixture is still warm.
Health Benefits

Marketing Claims
Most claims like 'Organic', 'Sulphurless', and 'Pesticide Free' are substantiated by certifications on the package. However, the claim 'Good Source of Minerals' is misleading. The nutritional data shows a serving provides only 12.04 mg of potassium, which is just 0.34% of the Recommended Daily Allowance, not qualifying it as a 'good source'. Marketing it as a component of a 'healthier lifestyle' without emphasizing moderation is ethically questionable as it is almost pure sugar.
