Do you know that if you soak raisins overnight in water and start eating them in the morning, you can’t avoid these three benefits?
First: For those who suffer from excessive gas in the stomach—if they mash the soaked raisins in the same water, add a little rock salt and roasted cumin, and drink it every morning, the gas will vanish as if it never existed. It also works wonders for constipation.
Second: For those with acidity issues—soak a teaspoon of fennel seeds along with the raisins overnight. In the morning, mash them together, add a small amount of threaded crystallized sugar (mishri), and start using this mixture. You’ll see significant relief very quickly.
Third: For people troubled by body heat—whether it’s heat from consuming refined flour (maida) or persistent burning in the hands and feet—try chewing soaked raisins thoroughly in the morning with a glass of milk. And to those who say, ‘What’s the point of soaking them?’—let them try eating dry raisins for a few days. If they don’t end up enjoying the warmth in winter, let me know!”
