*Peanut butter on whole wheat bread * ** * Yes, the good old peanut butter sandwich is a nutritional powerhouse. Research says so too. Pairing peanut butter with whole wheat bread enables the body to get the proper sequence of amino acids (a similar principle like dal-chawal). When our body is synthesising proteins, it needs all the amino acids there at the same time. Wheat lacks some amino acids. Peanuts have the amino acids lacking in wheat. Together they make a whole – a synergistic whole. That’s fabulous news for vegetarians. So garnish your green veggies or potatoes with some roasted mungphali like nani used to, and enjoy with hot phulkas.
Now do you understand why peanuts are added so liberally in the poha cooked extensively in Maharashtra and Gujarat? They are there not just for taste you see!*
