Chocolate, in its most pure form, cacao, is actually quite harmless, and in fact has many health benefits. It is mega high in anti-oxidants; these polyphenols are said to balance blood sugar, moderate blood pressure, improve cholesterol, improve brain function and be an anti-inflammatory.

When taste and health come together...

Hello guys! I am here with a refreshing recipe of my own experiments with food. I really loved the taste of cranberries in savoury, the flavour of raisins in Kashmiri pulao rice, the flavour of honey with chicken. This is what inspired me to try more combinations of sweet flavours in savoury. Obviously health is the first thing that comes to my mind and the next thing is busy life. What can be better when you combine health and taste but yet save time. So try out this sweet and sour healthy wrap, perfect for lunch or a snack. Ingredients:...
