We use spices in our food to make them tasty! Is there anything else to it?Yes, almost every spice is having some or other property beneficial to health apart from imparting taste to the food! like turmeric is used as it is good in preventing the infections, garlic is used as heart tonic, asafetida is used as carminative etc.etc. Our ancestors knew about these properties and they have started using these products as spices for the benefit of our health! Agree with me?
