Eating Smart- How Much Oil Should One Consume Daily?
Oil is a healthier cooking option as compared to saturated fats
(ghee, butter etc.) but you need to use it sparingly. It is advisable for healthy
individuals to consume no more than 6 teaspoons of oil (30 grams) per day and not more
than 3 teaspoons of oil for persons who wish to lose weight.Cooking For Health: Coriander &
Cilantro - Facts
Origin:
The name Coriandrum, is derived from the Greek koros, (a bedbug), because of the
unpleasant, foetid smell of the leaves, while the Africans are said to have called this
herb by a similar name (goid). The best coriander came from Egypt, and no doubt the
Israelites gained their knowledge of its properties. It is still much used in the East as
a condiment, and forms an ingredient in curry powder. |
