What happens when you combine curd and mangoes?
In most traditional Indian households, consuming mangoes with curd in the form of breakfast meals, shakes, or smoothies or simply pairing mangoes and curd with poha or sattu is a common practice. But do you know why there’s a confusion around pairing the two? Well, here’s all you need to know about combining mangoes and curd, and what exactly happens when you combine the two together. Read on to find out.
Is it a nutritious combination?
Combining curd with mangoes is undeniably a delightful combination, but this is what happens when these two ingredients are combined. This combination is loaded with calcium, probiotics, and protein from curds, and vitamin C, vitamin A, antioxidants, and natural sugars from mangoes. Combining the two in their raw form creates a balanced mix of macronutrients and essential vitamins. In fact, the protein in curd complements the carbohydrate-rich mangoes, which makes it a healthy and satisfying meal option.
Digestive health
Curd contains beneficial live cultures known as probiotics that support gut health and improve digestion. Mangoes, on the other hand, are rich in dietary fiber and natural digestive enzymes like amylase, which help break down complex carbohydrates. When eaten together, they may actually support smoother digestion, and contrary to the popular myth that mixing fruits and dairy causes stomach problems. However, people with sensitive digestion or lactose intolerance may want to consume this combo in moderation.
Boosts immunity
Both mangoes and curd play a role in boosting the immune system. Mangoes contain vitamin C and beta-carotene, which strengthen immunity and promote glowing skin. Curd is rich in zinc and vitamin B12, which also support immunity and improve gut flora. The combination helps your body stay resilient during the summer and protects the skin from dryness and sun damage. Calcium, vitamin B12, and zinc support overall immunity and energy levels.
Energy booster
This combo is excellent for boosting energy levels. Mangoes provide quick-releasing natural sugars, while curd provides sustained energy through protein and healthy fats. This makes it a perfect pre-workout snack or a great option for growing kids. It also helps in keeping you full for longer, reducing unnecessary snacking between meals.
Myths and moderation
There is a common Ayurvedic belief that mixing curd with certain fruits, including mangoes, may lead to imbalances or toxin formation known as ‘ama.’ However, modern nutrition science does not support this claim unless a person has an allergy, often catches colds, or has weak digestion.
