Some of today’s most popular food trends from around the world celebrate ingredients that have been part of India’s traditional kitchens for generations. From amaranth, sabja and turmeric to local greens and lesser-known fruits, many of these so-called ‘superfoods’ have long been part of our everyday diets.
Do you use any of these in your cooking? Do you remember the special superfoods your elders insisted you eat? Or the seasonal ingredients that appeared in your kitchen only at certain times of the year? What are the truly “Indian” ingredients you consider superfoods? Why were they valued in your family or community? How did they nourish you, and what makes them special?
Send us your superfood stories and recipes for this edition of CSE’s popular MY FOOD STORY recipe contest. The best and yummiest find a space in our growing dashboard of traditional recipes, with prizes and shout-out to the most talented SuperCooks!
