local food swaps
Oats vs. Wheat Rava - Oats are gluten-free and high in fiber, but do we really need them? Wheat rava is more affordable, equally rich in fiber. and perfectly suited for South Indian dishes like upma and kanji. Unless you have gluten intolerance, why not go local?

Quinoa vs. Ragi - Quinoa is praised for its protein, but are we lacking protein in our meals? Ragi, our own superfood, is packed with calcium for strong bones and helps manage blood sugar. Plus, it's grown in India and costs much less!

Olive Oil vs. Sesame Oil - Olive oil is great for heart health, but is it practical for Indian cooking? Sesame oil not only enhances flavor but also contains powerful antioxidants and healthy fats, making it ideal for Tamil Nadu cuisine. Why import when we have the best at home?

Chia Seeds vs. Sabja Seeds - Chia seeds sound fancy, but do we need imported omega-3s when sabja seeds (our very own basil seeds) provide cooling, aid digestion, and cost half as much? Smart swap!

Lettuce vs. Cabbage - Lettuce looks light and fancy, but let's be honest-it wilts fast and lacks substance. Cabbage stays fresh, is packed with fiber and vitamin C, and works in everything from poriyal to kootu. More nutrition, less wastage!
