It is summer time. Time for refreshing coolers and sherbets. While we are all game for the fruit and herb infused coolers and summer drink, a gem of a drink sattu sherbet can be your bestie this summer.
Sattu is extremely healthy and is a great source of energy providing the body with energy. It is also dry roasted and then ground and hence the making process does not tamper the nutritional value and makes it great for weight loss. High on insoluble fibre, sattu is very healthy for your gut and overall stomach health. It has cooling effects and because of which it is very popular in the North during summers as it is known to help beat the ill-effects of the loo which is a strong, dusty, hot wind which is very dry too and blows over North India during summer and can even get fatal. And probably the best part is that sattu is low in glycemic index and is therefore beneficial for people suffering from diabetes.
