Ayurvedic Information

My favourite spices for stewed fruits are great especially in fall and winter, making this warm bowl a perfect breakfast. Truthfully, I love it all year round. While usually fruit is not eaten for breakfast, cooking them this way can make them much lighter to digest and a great choice for a change.

Most fruit is sattvic but it should be fresh and free of pesticides.
