Genhu Daliya (Wheat Daliya)
Wheat Daliya –
Broken wheat or cracked wheat or Genhu daliya or Wheat Daliya is made by milling whole raw wheat grains coarsely. Wheat is cleaned and husked and then broken to the required size. It is highly nutritious as it does not undergo refining.
Benefits:
1. Beneficial for weight watchers. Eating a bowl of dalia daily is helpful in losing weight. Dalia is loaded with fibre which will keep you satiated for long and thus help in weight loss. It is also low on calories. For example a bowl of dalia with milk has around 220 calories only.
2. Relieves Constipation. Dalia is basically wheat with husk. Naturally, the husk makes this food rich in fibre, which cleanses the intestines and prevents constipation. Dalia with milk or vegetables should be consumed daily for best results.
3. Diabetes Management. Dalia contains complex carbohydrates and is low in glycemic index. This ensures a steady release of glucose in the blood, which helps in managing blood sugar. 4. Maintains Cholestrol Levels. Due to high fibre content, it helps in maintaining the cholesterol level of the body and is thus healthy for heart health. 5. Good for growing children.Dalia is a natural source of B-vitamins, minerals, fibre and protein and is much healthier than packaged foods as it has no preservatives. You can also make interesting dishes with it and hence it is an ideal food for growing children.
6. Easy to Digest. Dalia can be digested easily and hence is given as primary diet to patients who are recovering from prolonged illnesses and older people who suffer from digestion issues. But you must always exercise portion control while having dalia. Boil three teaspoons in two cups of water and then cook it the way you like.
