Kombucha’s potential health benefits are supported by various studies. Here are some key findings:

*Probiotics and Gut Health:*
1. Kombucha contains beneficial probiotics like Gluconacetobacter and Acetobacter, which support gut health (Jayabalan et al., 2017) [1].
2. Probiotics in kombucha may improve digestion and alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (Suh et al., 2020) [6].

*Antioxidants:*
1. Kombucha is rich in antioxidants, which help protect against cell damage and oxidative stress (Jayabalan et al., 2017) [1].
2. The tea used in kombucha fermentation contains polyphenols, which contribute to its antioxidant properties (Sreeram et al., 2016) [4].

*Potential Health Benefits:*
1. Kombucha may boost the immune system by increasing the production of antibodies and activating immune cells (Suh et al., 2020) [6].
2. Some studies suggest that kombucha may help manage blood sugar levels and support liver health (Suh et al., 2020; Jayabalan et al., 2017) [6][1].

*Precautions:*
1. Consult a healthcare professional before consuming kombucha, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications (CDC, 2022) [3].
2. Choose pasteurized or properly fermented options to minimize contamination risks (FDA, 2022) [2].

If you have tried our rice and dal meals you would know that we do this everyday dish differently.
You might also have noticed that we never use yellow split peas. Instead, we opt for fast-cooking beans and pulses that are great as protein sources and known to be easier to digest; such as red lentils, mung beans and urdi.

Today, our dal tadka was made using gub gub or navy beans. It was one of my ma’s favorite beans for dal. Since she left this earthly plane earlier this year, I often find myself making dishes that delighted her; as though, through the food, I can somehow stay connected to her. Sometimes I can almost hear her instructing me and when the resulting dish is really good, she would smile and nod in approval.
This was one of those times 😋
