Many big revelations in the Assocham report.
Assocham Report on Food:Indian cuisine is much preferred as compared to western food. It has always been believed that the dishes made in India are better in terms of health. In such a situation, the industry organization Ministry of Commerce and Industry ie Assocham has released a report related to this issue. Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal released the Indian Cuisine at Crossroads report prepared on Indian food in the program of ASSOCHAM. In this report, samosas have been described as better for health than burgers. Let us know, what other things have been included in this report.
Which is used more in branded and non branded things?
A survey has also been included in the Assocham report. This survey was done by visiting 12 large populated cities of the country. More than 5 thousand people took part in this entire survey. In the survey, people were asked whether you read the information written on the packaged products, then 40 percent of the people answered yes. At the same time, it was also told in this survey that the ratio of consumption of branded and non-branded food in India is 1:3, which means that people in India are using non-branded food more. The reason for this may be that non-branded food is cheaper and easily available than branded items.
non branded food is not good for health
Explain that in this survey, 90 percent people said that they are well aware of the disadvantages of high sugar, salt and fat present in non-branded food. Expressing concern, people also said that the Indian Food Committee should make strict rules regarding non-branded and unpackaged food. According to the survey, people agreed that non-branded products should be allowed to enter the market only after testing them. You will be surprised to know that according to the survey, people of Tier-2 cities are more conscious about their food as compared to Tier-1.
Samosas are many times healthier than burgers
In today’s modern times in the country, western things are dominated in every field from food to clothes. In such a situation, if we compare burger and samosa, then both are junk food. Both of these are not considered high for health, but let us tell you that fresh things are used to make samosas. At the same time, preservatives are also used in burgers. Samosa is made of flour and is fried in cooking oil. Also, cumin, boiled potatoes, peas, salt, chillies and spices etc. are used in it. While a burger is made from packed ingredients, its bread can be several days old. After eating such things, there can be a lot of damage to the health.
Maida is used directly in samosa, while yeast is used in maida to make burger batter. Many times, apart from cooking oil, other oils are also used to make burger tikki, which can cause great harm to health. In such a situation, samosa is better for health than burger. However, it does not mean at all that you start consuming it more, because samosa comes only in unhealthy food or junk food.
