Milk!

Hello To, All My Readers, Followers and Blogging Friends ❤


Hope All of You are keeping in Good Health as possible. And Positive and Motivated. Well, I have been writing about PURPOSE IN LIFE my students are very keen and interested in studying. They wanted to study PSYCHOLOGY I am flattered and so HAPPY. And posted as unlike simple articles very Advanced Topics. And now I thought of writing about the goodness of Milk as I had not written about such nourishment as Milk!

Milk
Milk is regarded as a complete food. According to Ayurveda Milk is the Best Nourishment the first food by all babies as soon as they are born. It contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and all the food ingredients considered essential for sustaining life and maintaining good health. The protein from milk is of the highest food value. Milk increases the strengthand memory very good for exhaustionacts as a Tonichelps to sleep well.

Dairy Products or Other foods that are made from Milk you can see from the pictures/ I have got excellent information and pictures very clearly 🙂

How to Make Ghee

Homemade ghee (also known as clarified butter) is incredibly easy to make, much cheaper than store-bought versions, and is perfect for those who are dairy-sensitive. Plus — it has a delicious, nutty aroma that works well in many recipes.
Ghee is a traditional Indian food enjoyed in the Middle East and Asia for thousands of years. It’s also frequently used in Ayurveda and other healing medicines.

What Are The Benefits of Ghee?

It’s similar to clarified butter, where all of the milk solids are removed, but it’s cooked for a little bit longer, allowing the milk solids on the bottom of the pan to brown, giving the ghee a nuttier flavor profile. In other words, it’s a delicious, dairy-light butter alternative! But here’s what else I love about it: 

It has a high smoke point: Regular butter can smoke and burn on the stove (due to the milk solids), but ghee doesn’t burn! That makes it perfect for sautéing and frying. Think of it as a stabilized cooking fat.

It’s shelf stable: You can store the ghee at room temperature in a dark, cool place for a few months, or in the fridge for up to a year.

Ghee Ingredients

There’s just one ingredient – butter! So, use your favorite brand of unsalted butter.

How To Make Ghee

Cook the butter. Add about a pound to a small pot and cook on low heat. Once the butter is melted and starts to simmer, you’ll notice the ghee will separate into three layers.

Skim the top. You’ll notice foam forming at the top and sputtering a bit, which is the water evaporating. Skim that foam off with a spoon and let it continue to cook until the foam turns into clear bubbles and the middle layer becomes translucent. You should also start to see the milk solids sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Let it cool and store it. After 25 to 30 minutes, your ghee should be done. Turn off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes, then strain it into a glass storage container. The ghee will become opaque and light yellow as it cools. You can store the ghee at room temperature in a cupboard (away from direct light) for a few months. If you plan to keep it longer, it’s best to store it in the refrigerator where it will last about a year.

Cheese is a type of dairy product produced in a range of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It is composed of proteins and fat from milk.. During production, milk is usually acidified and either the enzymes of rennet or bacterial enzymes with similar activity are added to cause the casein to coagulate. The solid curds are then separated from the liquid whey and pressed into finished cheese. Some cheeses have aromatic molds on the rind, the outer layer, or throughout.

Over a thousand types of cheese exist, produced in various countries. Their styles, textures and flavors depend on the origin of the milk whether they have been pasteurised, the butterfat content, the bacteria and mold, the processing, and how long they have been aged. Herbs, spices, or wood smoke may be used as flavoring agents. Other added ingredients may include black pepper, garlic, chives or cranberries. A cheese monger, or specialist seller of cheeses, may have expertise with selecting, purchasing, receiving, storing and ripening cheeses.

Most cheeses are acidified by bacteria, which turn milk sugars into lactic acid; the addition of rennet completes the curdling. Vegetarian varieties of rennet are available; most are produced through fermentation by the fungus Mucor miehei, but others have been extracted from Cynara thistles. For a few cheeses, the milk is curdled by adding acids such as vinegar or lemon juice.

Cheese is valued for its portability, long shelf life, and high content of fat, protein, calcium, and phosphorus. Cheese is more compact and has a longer shelf life than milk. Hard cheeses, such as Parmesan, last longer than soft cheeses, such as Brie or goat’s milk cheese. The long storage life of some cheeses, especially when encased in a protective rind, allows selling when markets are favorable. Vacuum packaging of block-shaped cheeses and of plastic bags with mixtures of carbon dioxide and nitrogen are used for storage and distribution of cheeses in the 21st century.

Other Products of Milk

Dairy products are not limited to the traditional forms of milk. There are various other products made from milk, each with its unique characteristics and nutritional benefits. Here are some examples of dairy products that are not commonly consumed but are worth exploring:

Milk Products:

  • Milk
  • Sour cream
  • Condensed milk
  • Evaporated milk
  • Ice cream
  • Whipping cream
  • Cream
  • Butter
  • Cheese
  • Yogurt

I Think I have written and given so much information on Milk and Milk Products and all the benefits also. Hope You enjoy as well as learn a lot about Milk from what I have written and posted 🙂

Meanwhile I am getting from WordPress. You’ve posted 3 days in a row on I am My Path!! Keep up the good work.

Carrot!

Hello to, All My Dear Readers, Followers and My Blogging Friends ❤

Hope All of You are keeping in Good Health as possible. And Positive and Motivated. I have been writing about Various ways of Therapies to Become Well” And also about Your Purpose in Life! and why having one is so good for you. Taking after PURPOSE IN LIFE my students are very keen and interested studying. They want to study PSYCHOLOGY I am flattered and so HAPPY. And posted as unlike simple articles a very Advanced Topic. And now a simple post about the Values of Beet Root for a change and then they want an Article about Carrots 😀

The carrot is a root vegetable, typically orange in colour, though heirloom variants including purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars exist, all of which are domesticated forms of the wild carrot, native to Europe and Southwestern Asia. The plant probably originated in Iran and was originally cultivated for its leaves and seeds. The carrot is a biennial plant . World production of carrots (combined with turnips) for 2022 was 42 million tonnes, led by China producing 44% of the total. The characteristic orange colour is from beta-carotene, making carrots a rich source of vitamin A.

Nutrition and Health Benefits of Carrots: Carrots contain many nutrients, including beta-carotene and antioxidants, that may support your overall health as part of a nutrient-rich diet.

The carrot is a root vegetable often claimed to be the perfect health food. It is crunchy, tasty, and highly nutritious. Carrots are a particularly good source of beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants. Plus, they’re low in calories. They also have several health benefits. They have been linked to lower cholesterol levels and improved eye health. Carrots are found in many colors, including yellow, white, orange, red, and purple. Orange carrots get their bright color from beta carotene, an antioxidant that your body converts into vitamin A.

Nutrition facts

Carrots contain very little fat and protein. The nutrition facts for two small-to-medium raw carrots, or 100 grams Trusted Source (g), are:

  • Calories: 41
  • Water: 89%
  • Protein: 0.8 g
  • Carbs: 9.0 g
  • Fiber: 2.7 g
  • Fat: 0.1 g

Fiber

Pectin is the main form of soluble fiber in carrots.

Soluble fibers can lower blood sugar levels by slowing down your digestion of sugar and starch. They can also feed the friendly bacteria in your gut, which may lead to improved health and decreased risk of disease. What’s more, certain soluble fibers can impair the absorption of cholesterol from your digestive tract, lowering cholesterol. The main insoluble fibers in carrots are cellulose, Insoluble fibers help digestion.

Other plant compounds

Carrots offer many plant compounds, including carotenoids.

These are substances with powerful antioxidant activity that have been linked to improved immune function and reduced risk of many illnesses, including heart disease, various degenerative ailments, and certain types of cancer.

Beta carotene, the main carotene in carrots, can be converted into vitamin A in your body. However, this conversion process may vary by individual. Eating fat with carrots can help you absorb more of the beta carotene.

The main plant compounds in carrots are:

  • Beta carotene: Orange carrots are very high in beta carotene. The absorption is better if the carrots are cooked.
  • Alpha-carotene: This is an antioxidant that, like beta-carotene, is partly converted into vitamin A in your body.
  • Lutein: One of the most common antioxidants in carrots, lutein is predominantly found in yellow and orange carrots and is important for eye health.
  • Lycopene: This is a bright red antioxidant found in many red fruits and vegetables, including red and purple carrots. Lycopene may decrease your risk of cancer and heart disease. Cooking carrots helps release lycopene and improves absorption.
  • Polyacetylenes: Recent research has identified bioactive compounds in carrots that may help protect against leukemia and other cancers.
  • Anthocyanins: These are powerful antioxidants found in dark-colored carrots.

Vitamins and minerals

Carrots are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, especially biotin, potassium, and vitamins A (from beta carotene), K1 (phylloquinone), and B6.

  • Vitamin A: Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which your body converts into vitamin A. This nutrient promotes good vision and is important for growth, development, and immune function.
  • Biotin: A B vitamin formerly known as vitamin H, biotin plays an important role in fat and protein metabolism.
  • Vitamin K1: Also known as phylloquinone, vitamin K1 is important for blood coagulation and can promote bone health.
  • Potassium: An essential mineral, potassium is important for blood pressure management.
  • Vitamin B6: A group of related vitamins, B6 is involved in the conversion of food into energy.

Baby carrots

Baby carrots are an increasingly popular snack food. Two kinds of carrots are called baby carrots whole carrots harvested while still small

  • baby-cut carrots, which are pieces from larger carrots that have been machine-cut into the preferred size, then peeled, polished, and sometimes washed in small amounts of chlorine before packing

There’s very little difference in nutrients between regular and baby carrots, and they should have the same health effects.

Ayurveda ~ Values of Cashew!

Hello to, All My Dear Readers, Followers and My Blogging Friends ❤

Hope all of you are keeping well. It’s very very cold but I am continuing to write, being on Ayurveda I thought of Enlightening on Values of Food for being in Good Health. As so many are not aware of the Values of Fruits and Vegetables and most importantly Herbs. Although this is a very popular nut where almost all like to eat, even me 🙂 very few know how they grow!

Cashew is the common name of a tropical evergreen tree. It is native to South America and is the source of the cashew nut and the cashew apple, an accessory fruit. The tree can grow as tall as 14 meters (46 feet), but the dwarf cultivars, growing up to 6 m (20 ft), prove more profitable, with earlier maturity and greater yields. The cashew nut is edible and is eaten on its own as a snack, used in recipes, or processed into cashew cheese or cashew butter. The nut is often simply called a ‘cashew’. The cashew apple is a light reddish to yellow fruit, whose pulp and juice can be processed into a sweet, fruit drink. In 2023, 3.9 million tons of cashew nuts were harvested globally, led by the Ivory Coast and India. In addition to the nut and fruit, the shell yields derivatives used in lubricants, waterproofing, and paints.

The English name derives from the Portuguese name for the fruit of the cashew tree: Caju (Portuguese pronunciation: also known as acaju, which itself is from the Tupi word acajú, literally meaning “nut that produces itself”. The generic name Anacardium is composed of the Greek prefix ana- (ἀνά-, aná, ‘up, upward’) It possibly refers to the heart shape of the fruit, to “the top of the fruit stem”. The plant has diverse common names in various languages among its wide distribution range,including anacardier (French) with the fruit referred to as pomme de cajou, caju (Portuguese pronunciation: [kaˈʒu]), or acaju (Portuguese).

The true fruit of the cashew tree is a kidney-shaped or boxing glove-shaped drupe that grows at the end of the cashew apple. The drupe first develops on the tree and then the pedicel expands to become the cashew apple. The drupe becomes the true fruit, a single shell-encased seed, which is often considered a nut in the culinary sense.

The cashew tree is large and evergreen, growing to 14 metres (46 feet) tall, with a short, often irregularly shaped trunk. The leaves are spirally arranged, leathery textured, the flowers are produced in a panicle or corymb long; each flower is small, pale green at first, then turning reddish, with five slender, acute petals The largest cashew tree in the world and is located in Natal, Brazil. The fruit of the cashew tree is an accessory fruit What appears to be the fruit is an oval or pear-shaped structure, that develops from the pedicel and the receptacle of the cashew flower. Called the cashew apple, better known in Central America as marañón, it ripens into a yellow or red.

Below you can see how the cashew nuts are formed from the flowers.

The next stage growing a little Bigger from the above small ones’.

Raw cashew nuts are 5% water, 30% carbohydrates, 44% fat, and 18% protein  In raw cashews provide 67% of the Daily Value in total fats, 36% DV of protein, 13% DV of dietary fiber, and carbohydrates. Cashew nuts are rich source of dietary minerals, including particularly copper, manganese, phosphorus, and magnesium and of thiamin, vitamin B6, and vitamin K Iron, potassium, zinc, and selenium are present in significant content.

Nut and shell

Culinary uses for cashew seeds in snacking and cooking are similar to those for all tree seeds called nuts. Cashews are commonly used in Indian cuisine, whole for garnishing sweets or curries, or ground into a paste that forms a base of sauces for curries (e.g., korma), or some sweets It is also used in powdered form in the preparation of several Indian sweets and desserts. both roasted and raw kernels of Goa Kaju are used whole for making curries and sweets. Cashews are also used in Thai and Chinese cuisines, generally in whole form. The province of Pampanga also has a sweet dessert called turrones de casuy, which is cashew marzipan wrapped in white wafers. In Indonesia, roasted and salted cashews are called kacang mete or kacang mede, while the cashew apple is called jamb

Above is the Nutri amounts just to know May be not over eat 🙂 which is very easy but don’t we all love to eat them 🙂

Roasted Cashew

Cashew nuts are processed through several key steps:

  1. Cleaning: The raw cashew nuts are cleaned to remove impurities.
  2. Heating: The nuts are heated to facilitate shelling.
  3. Shelling: The shells are removed either by hand or using machines.
  4. Drying: The shelled nuts are dried to reduce moisture content.
  5. Peeling: The thin skin around the nuts is peeled off.
  6. Grading: The nuts are sorted based on size and quality.
  7. Packaging: Finally, the processed cashew nuts are packaged for sale. 

When It’s Best

Cashews are harvested about two months after the fruit (the apple) has set. The nut forms below the apple. This usually happens in the winter. But cashews are available all year long in most stores.

Storage and Food Safety

The best way to store nuts is to keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for about three months. If you keep them in the refrigerator, you can prolong their lifespan to up to six months, and if you freeze them, you can use them for about one year.

How to Prepare

Cashews can be eaten raw or roasted. Many people describe them as having a creamy, sweet texture that pairs well with savory and salty foods. Sprinkle roasted or raw nuts on a salad for a boost of protein or add them to the top of a small serving of ice cream. Chop them up and use them as a coating for fish or even add them to oatmeal in the morning.

Promotes Better Heart Health

Cashews, like all nuts, are a high-fat food, but they provide both poly- and monounsaturated fats—a healthy form of fat that helps boost heart health and reduce cholesterol levels when consumed in moderation.2 Cashews also provide diet-friendly fiber, which is associated with a heart-healthy diet. Studies also show that plant-based diets that include healthy fats and protein from nuts and seeds (rather than meat products) can boost heart health.

I hope you found this post quite interesting and full of new knowledge as very few know how cashews come about 🙂
