Did you know that there are Ayurvedic Spices found in most of the Lotus dishes? Lotus Family of Restaurants has been committed to serving the community with not just delicious but also healthy and hearty Indian food. Some of our dishes include Cumin, Turmeric and Cardamom which are considered powerful ayurvedic herbs and spices.
Cumin is Surinder Sroa’s favorite spice; it is typically found in chili and other spice blends like garam masala and curry powder. Cumin has a warm, earthy flavor and a bit of both sweetness and bitterness. It has a pungent aroma, and its health benefits includes:
- weight loss
- lowers cholesterol
- Diabetes management
- IBS
- Fights Stress
- Fights memory loss
Turmeric gives curry that yellow color and is known to be a classic among Ayurveda spices. It tastes earthy, bitter, musky with a peppery spice. Turmeric is also known for boosting a person’s immune system. The many health benefits are all confirmed by nutrition science. Turmeric helps with:
- heart disease
- cancer
- metabolic syndrome
- Alzheimer’s disease
- various degenerative conditions
Cardamom is the “queen of spices” with an intense flavor and antibacterial properties (like turmeric). Cardamom is used in both sweet and savory dishes and has been a part of Ayurvedic medicine since ancient times and it originates in India. Like Cumin and Turmeric, Cardamom has its share of health benefits.
