Manna from the Fields

Hi Friends!

A bright and cool morning...yes, cool because the early winter nip is in the air!

My heart beat picked up as I set into the pace of yoga. A brief break and my health drink of honey and lime in warm water gave me temporary relief. Life, thereafter, was back to routine. However, today was organic dalia for breakfast and not cornflakes. Change if good is always welcomed.

Healthy Crops
Aaahhh... organic dalia- this remind me of the rows of wheat and wholegrain stuff stacked on racks of food bazars and malls. It seems we are back to the good healthy eating days  of our forefathers. The emphasis was on a lot of bran, course cereals, millets etc., that held on to the nutritive content or only a negligible amount was lost in its processing. The suave city dwellers end up eating what our grandmothers wanted us but call it by fancy names to placate their so called belief in belonging to an era that is more civilized!

Everyday, for breakfast or evening snacks, or after a tiring day from work the stuffed breads, natural flavoured breads and even cakes and muffins are a great comfort. Snacking becomes merrier with family and friends.The breads from Home for Food Traditions (HFT) have all the ingredients that would have made our grand moms and moms happy. So HFT bread basket has a permanent perch on the dining table at my place.

So friends it has been the tradition to eat coarse or whole grains of different varieties and HFT breads are a safe bet. Integrity in whatever they do is their baseline- bread bakes included.
