Groundnut/ Peanut

Eating groundnuts every day can lower bad cholesterol and make your heart healthier. Research has shown that groundnuts are a good source of Omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin E, which can help prevent arteries from getting blocked. Additionally, groundnuts contain a substance called Resveratrol, which can help prevent heart issues. Peanut or groundnut is a type of plant that belongs to the bean family. The peanut was likely first grown and farmed in the valleys of Paraguay. This plant is a small herb that grows around 30 to 50 cm (1. 0 to 16 ft) tall each year.

Soya Chunks

Soya chunks are made using soy flour that has been ‘defatted’ or the oil is removed. They are the byproducts left after extracting soybean oil and have a rough texture when left dry. The texture quickly changes to soft and spongy as soon as submerged in warm water or added to gravy. They are known as ‘vegetarian’s meat’ as their nutritional profile is comparable to several non-vegetarian foods. Soya chunks are also very versatile and can also be cooked to have a similar flavour as non-veg curries.
