Smart Foods: Good for you, Good for the planet, Important for food security a...ICRISAT
Grains such as millet (including sorghum), amaranth, buckwheat, quinoa are ancient grains used since antiquity.
They are highly nutritious, gluten-free and rich in fiber and minerals. Millets are not only good for us, but
they are also good for the planet – use less water, and are climate-ready – can withstand high
temperatures expected with climate change.
Millets are often the only crops that can grow in the dryland regions of the world. They act as a last
resort for the farmer, since they can even survive in drought conditions. Millets and sorghum are
among the mandate crops of ICRISAT, the others being pigeonpea, chickpea and groundnut which also
survive in semi-arid regions under extreme conditions.
The ‘big 3’ crops (wheat, maize and rice) receive most attention and support for research and development
and are increasingly dominant in the minds of government, industry and consumers. We believe that
millets and sorghum are under-recognized for their value and are important for diversification and
complementing other foods. In particular, they are critical for both farmers and consumers because of:
high nutritional value
resilience under extreme weather conditions – critical in future with climate change
need for both on-farm and diet diversity
multiple untapped uses.
A globalized diet now exists and there are trends in
developing countries where more nutritious and
smart foods like millets and legumes are sometimes
seen as ‘food for the poor’ and not as status foods or
crops by consumers or farmers. Thus, only a few
crops dominate both our dining tables as well as farms.
To correct this trend ICRISAT has launched the Smart
Foods campaign where we aim to partner with
organizations globally to create a demand for these
ancient grains thus benefiting the farmer, the
consumer and the planet.

Faktor faktor yang perlu diberi perhatian semasa semburan racun nyamuk/sera...DR HARDEV SINGH
Faktor-faktor yang perlu diperhatikan semasa semburan ruang antara lain waktu semburan yang optimal, keadaan cuaca dan tiupan angin, jenis racun yang digunakan, spesies serangga sasaran, teknik dan efisiensi semburan, serta ukuran partikel yang dihasilkan. Parameter-parameter ini perlu dipantau dan diikuti agar semburan dapat dilaksanakan dengan efektif.
Bias in research can occur at any stage from study design to publication. There are several types of bias including selection bias, information bias, and confounding bias. Selection bias occurs when the study sample is not representative of the target population. Information bias results from errors in measuring or classifying exposure and outcome variables. Confounding bias is introduced when a third variable is associated with both the exposure and outcome. Researchers should employ techniques like randomization, matching, and restriction to minimize bias.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Punjab is a state located in northwest region of India and is one of the most prosperous
states.
• The name Punjab is made of two words Punj (Five) + Aab (Water) derived from land of
five rivers.
• Punjabi cuisine may be a culinary style originating within the Punjab, a locale within the
northern portion of the Indian subcontinent, which is presently separated in an Indian
region and a Pakistani region.
• In traditional Punjabi homes, milk products are organic and churned, and hence keep
diseases at bay. Another important thing to understand is that since this food is made and
customized for the northern region, geography places a huge aspect. Food is determined
by winter, summer and spring. Since the northern region is greatly affected by these three
weathers, food choices change as per season to maintain ideal body temperature.

which is a harmful amino acid. The level of toxin in the newly developed
varieties is within safer limits, hence reasonable consumption after proper
processing may not be harmful.
Dal soaked in water for 6-8 hours before cooking loses about 1/3rd of
toxins. Dehusked Dal when soaked in warm acidic solution of pH 4.0 or
alkaline solution of pH 9.2 (temperature 80C) for 30-60 minutes loses
about 80-90% of total neurotoxins.

SAMOSA
A samosa is a South Asian fried or baked pastry with a savory filling like spiced
potatoes, onions, peas, chicken and other meats, or lentils. It may take different
forms, including triangular, cone, or half-moon shapes, depending on the
region.
Samosas are often accompanied by chutney, and have origins in medieval times
or earlier. Due to emigration and cultural diffusion from these areas, samosas
today are often prepared in other regions.
A small size samosa is about 240 calories, loaded with carbs, saturated fats and
has no other nutrients in it. But it's not the potato or the flour that’s causing
half the harm. It’s the oil that it is being cooked in. The threat is even more
when the dishes are eaten from roadside stall, when vendors make use of oil
that gets stale due to repeated frying. They also use hydrogenated oil that has
trans fatty acid.
Trans fats are generated when liquid oils are turned into solid or semi-solid fats
through hydrogenation, a process by which hydrogen is added to vegetable oil.
This happens when oil is recycled during cooking, or when food is heated over
and over again in the same oil it was cooked in.

LADOO/LADDU
Laddu or ladoo is a sphere-shaped sweet originating from the Indian
subcontinent. Laddus are primarily made from flour, fat and sugar.

added.
Gram flour contains high protein and fiber which makes it ideal for weight
loss. It helps to control cholesterol levels and reduce hypertension.
It contains magnesium that helps to maintain blood pressure and prevents
cardiovascular health problems.
It also contains nutrients that can improve bone and heart health.
Iron and other minerals help prevent anemia and enhance metabolism.
Ghee helps absorb nutrients and can improve the immune system as it
contains antioxidants. It can also relieve digestion issues but too much
saturated fat can elevate the risk of heart disease.
11. GHEE
• One tablespoon (15g) of ghee has approximately 135 calories, all of which
come from fat. That small amount of ghee has 15 grams of total fat and 9
grams of saturated fat, or 45% of the recommended daily value. A
tablespoon of ghee also has 45 milligrams of cholesterol, or 15% of the
daily value. Ghee is free of sodium, carbohydrates, fiber, sugar and
protein.

2. It helps stimulate the digestive system hence assisting in weigh lose as long as one engages in a
well balanced diet and regular exercising.
3. For individuals with cholesterol conditions, ghee is their better fat alternative compared to regular
butter as it has lower fat content.
4. Ghee has a high melting point therefore it will neither burn nor smoke when cooked. One can fry
and cook with it without it breaking down to free radicals as many oils tend to do.
5. Stimulate appetite; Ghee stimulates the production of gastric acid in the stomach which in turn
makes one feel hungry and just want to eat. This acid as well aids in the digestion process.

6. It is rich in Conjugated Linoleic Acid and vitamin K2; These acids give ghee its antioxidant and
anti-viral property which prevents against pre-mature aging and wrinkling.
7. Just like coconut oil, it is nutritionally enriched; Ghee is enriched with medium saturated fats
which are directly absorbed by the liver and used for energy production. Hence ghee can be used
as an energy source by athletes.
8. Anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory; Ghee is used to treat bowel inflammations and stomach
conditions such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Ayurvedic physicians also used ghee
for centuries to reduce inflammations.
14. DISADVANTAGES OF GHEE
1. Since ghee is entirely made up of fat, too much of it can lead to
weight gain.
2. Since fat is generally not good for the cardiovascular system,
consuming too much of ghee exposes one to cardiovascular conditions
such as hypertension and heart attacks.
Ghee is good for one’s health but it is can also be dangerous if not
regulated. Therefore it is always good to take it moderation.
