How are all the hearty eaters doing these days?

Before you all actually think about it, I have one more question for you all. Did any one of you ever had any idea that "KAJU KATLI" is actually healthy to eat?????

Well, I can imagine all the watery mouths right now. Haha, I knew it. For all those who do not know about it, let me just give you a sneak peak.

To begin with, Kaju Katli is one of the more  expensive Indian sweet, when compared with the other barfi's. It is relished and gifted extensively during special occasions and festivals in India.

Made from the super healthy cashews, Kaju Katli is definitely the most delightful part of Diwali celebrations. The other key ingredients used in the making of Kaju Katli are sugar, saffron (kesar), thickened milk and some more dry fruits and mild spices. To enhance it's appearance, the pieces are covered with some edible silver foil.

For all the food lovers, who take a seat back in consuming Kaju Katli, let me introduce you to the health benefits it offers to us.

1. Cashews have cholesterol reducing properties. Cashews are rich in good fats like omega-3 fatty acids and other unsaturated fats like oleic acid, both of which are good for health. These fats can help in reducing bad cholesterol in the body.

 

2. Cashews can keep help in keeping blood pressure under control because they have negligible amount of sodium. What's more is that cashews contain a fair amount of potassium, which further helps in controlling blood pressure.

 

3. People with diabetes can have Kaju Katli as nuts have a low glycemic index. Magnesium rich calcium can help in lowering  risk of diabetes.

 

4. Cashews are good for heart health as far as you consume them in a healthy way and avoid overeating.

 

5. Protein rich cashews can improve strength. 100gms of cashew contains somewhere around 36% of your daily recommended intake of protein. Protein is a nutrient that acts as a building block of cells and is also important in the growth and development of your body.

 

Including cashews in your diet can be good for your bones and muscles, thus improving strength.

So, this Diwali consume your favourite Kaju Katli guilt-free from the "Banarasi Misthan Bhandar" who not only emphasize on healthy eating but also offer you with their mouth watering delicacies.
