New Delhi, March 14 (IANS). Taste and health are not only related to diet but also to pure diet. Good health depends not only on good diet but also on identifying the right things to use in it, especially spices.
In today’s time, instead of spices ground using the ancient method, spices filled with adulteration have made a place in the markets. The spices available in the market often contain dangerous adulteration, whether it is lead chromate in turmeric or brick powder in chilli. All these spices are poison for health and in such a situation it is important for everyone to identify real and fake spices.
First let’s talk about coriander powder. To identify it, take water in a glass. Add two spoons of coriander powder in water and leave it for half an hour. If the powder settles to the bottom of the glass, then the coriander powder is pure, and if it floats on top or tries to mix with water, then it is impure.
Rock salt is considered a symbol of purification and rock salt has been used in every household for centuries, but in today’s time there is a possibility of adulteration in it. For this, cut the potato from the middle and put rock salt on it. Put a few drops of lemon on rock salt and leave it. If the rock salt is genuine then there will be no change in the color of the rock salt, whereas on the contrary, if there is adulteration then the potato will start turning black or blue.
Now let us know about red chilli. For this, take water in a glass glass. Add two spoons of red chilli in water. If the chilli is floating on the water then the chilli is pure and if it is sinking in the water and turning the water red then understand that it is impure. At the same time, black pepper powder has also started being adulterated. Take the help of water to check this also. Take black pepper powder in a glass of water. If it sinks then it is impure and if it floats on water then it is pure.
Without turmeric powder, both the taste and color of the vegetable gets affected. In such a situation, take water in a glass and add turmeric powder. Pure turmeric starts settling slowly without showing its dark color, whereas adulterated turmeric leaves its color as soon as it goes into water and dissolves in water. The job of spices is not only to enhance taste but also to take care of health. Therefore do not compromise on health.
