Nutrition for Asian-Indians Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous Ugadi ( Telugu New Year) and Gudi Padwa.

Started day with prayers and well balanced special dish called Ugadi Pacchadi. It consists of  Sweet, Sour and Spice that are well blended.

The significance of this dish

• Neem Buds/Flowers for its bitterness, signifying Sadness
• Jaggery and ripe banana pieces for sweetness, signifying Happiness
• Green Chilli/Pepper for its hot taste, signifying Anger
• Salt for saltiness, signifying Fear
• Tamarind Juice for its sourness, signifying Disgust
• Unripened Mango for its tang, signifying Surprise.

Hope our New Year is well balanced..
