Every traditional culture has healing foods because these cultures understand that nature offers all we need for health. For example, Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medical system, has Kitchari, the healing and cleansing dish based on mung beans and spices. Judaism has magical chicken soup and Pho is the Vietnamese version of this healing meal.
Good news: The power of traditional food is the perfect solution for today’s crazy environment because it is healing, comforting and, best of all, tastes fantastic!
Kitchari and Pho are anti-inflammatory, gut-healing and full of herbs and spices to support your immune system. They are easy to digest and perfect for the whole family + they are one bowl meals. Could you ask for anything more?!
