Benefits of Masala Mixes (Goda Masala is one of them)

Work as nutrient bombs

Masala mixes such as garam masala, goda masala and paanch phoron use spices like asafoetida, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, mace and turmeric – all are rich in iron and calcium. Thus, each masala mix can be called a nutrient-rich bomb.

Contain antioxidants

Spices in masala mixes are rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids, polyphenols and lignans. Antioxidants are known to reduce oxidative stress. Hence, the inclusion of masala in your daily diet will help in reducing stress and may even slow down ageing.

Have anti-inflammatory properties

Spices like red chillies, bay leaves, black pepper and nutmeg have high anti-inflammatory properties. Thus, these spices contribute to the reduction of the inflammatory response in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis and asthma.

Have antimicrobial and antifungal properties

Do you suffer from frequent food poisoning? It is caused by microorganisms and can pose a threat to your health. Spices such as clove, cinnamon and cumin, used in our masala, possess significant antibacterial and antifungal properties against food spoilage bacteria, pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus and harmful fungi. Therefore, spices act like anti-microbial agents that can kill microorganisms and stop their growth.

Help in fighting cancer

Do you know that spices can modify your immune responses or functioning of the immune system itself? This property is referred to by the term ‘immunomodulatory effects’. Various studies state that apart from antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, spices also possess immunomodulatory effects. This makes them effective in the prevention and treatment of several types of cancer, including lung, liver, breast, stomach, colon, rectum, cervix and prostate cancer. Several spices, such as turmeric, cumin, ginger, garlic, saffron, black pepper and red chillies, contain bioactive anti-cancer compounds like curcumin, thymoquinone, piperine and capsaicin.

Are good for dental health

Since ancient times, spices like cloves and cinnamon have been used to treat minor dental issues. These spices contain phytochemicals, which act against oral microorganisms and treat dental conditions like gingivitis, periodontics, plaques, staining, pain and swelling. So, masala mixes which have these spices are beneficial for dental health.

Boost metabolism

Everyday ingredients like garlic, fenugreek, red pepper, turmeric and ginger are effective cholesterol-lowering agents. Several other spices have anti-diabetic, anti-obesity and heart-healthy properties when consumed regularly.
