Do you have stories about your favorite food that your grandmother have cooked in the clay pots?
Awesome! Yes, I have too.
Delicious healthy food what we enjoyed was not just made using better ingredients and what she cooked with too.
In the modern times, people switched to metal utensils due to their ease of use and maintenance. The chemicals induced modern utensils deprive the food of its natural ingredients and leave us living unhealthy too.
We try our best to get the organic food but not realize that most of the nutrients in our food destroyed during the cooking process.On the other hand, clay pots are completely safe to use.
