About Saaru
Saaru, also known as rasam, is a flavorful South Indian soup made from tamarind juice, lentils, tomatoes, herbs, and a blend of spices like black pepper, cumin, and mustard seeds. A staple in South Indian cuisine, it is prized for its tangy, aromatic, and slightly spicy profile. Saaru is not only delicious but also nutrient-rich, as it contains a good mix of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from its plant-based ingredients. It is particularly known for its digestive benefits due to ingredients like tamarind and black pepper, which promote gut health. The soup is low in calories and fat but offers moderate amounts of protein when prepared with lentils. However, the sodium content can increase if heavily salted. Saaru is often enjoyed as a comforting dish on its own or served over rice, making it a wholesome and versatile option in balanced diets.
