Sangeetha Restaurant, a renowned South Indian restaurant chain, has been serving authentic and delicious dishes for over 30 years. What sets Sangeetha apart from other restaurants is its commitment to using only the highest quality ingredients. Notably, they have introduced a policy of using olive oil exclusively in their North Indian and Asian menus. In this blog post, we'll explore why Sangeetha Restaurant chose to use olive oil in their dishes and the benefits of this healthy oil.
Olive oil, extracted from the fruit of the olive tree, is commonly used in cooking as well as in beauty and skincare products. It is celebrated for its health benefits and is considered a superfood by many. Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), which help reduce inflammation in the body, lower cholesterol levels, and improve heart health. It contains significant amounts of oleuropein, which can lower blood sugar by stimulating the pancreas to secrete insulin, making it ideal for diabetes patients. Olive oil also aids in nutrient absorption and stimulates the digestion of lipids, preventing the onset of gallstones. Additionally, it can help reduce plaque buildup in blood vessels.
Thanks to its antioxidant content, olive oil can also reduce ageing skin and wrinkles. Antioxidants protect our cells from damage caused by free radicals, which can lead to chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. Studies have shown that regular consumption of olive oil can reduce the risk of certain cancers, including breast cancer and colon cancer.
At Sangeetha Restaurant, chefs use Jivo Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the highest quality and purest form of olive oil that retains all its natural antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Extra virgin olive oil is also more flavorful than other types, adding depth and complexity to dishes. Imported from Spain and extracted using cold press technology, Jivo Extra Virgin Olive Oil is crafted especially for Indian kitchens, offering a neutral taste that doesn’t overwhelm other flavours in dishes.
Sangeetha Restaurant’s use of olive oil in their dishes is a testament to their dedication to using only the highest quality ingredients, despite the higher cost compared to traditional oils. In fact, Sangeetha is the first Indian restaurant to shift a part of menu items from double-refined groundnut oils to olive oil.
Olive oil is a healthy and flavorful alternative to other oils, offering a range of health benefits including reduced inflammation, improved heart health, and protection against chronic diseases. Sangeetha Restaurant always puts your health first. As a multi-cuisine, 100% vegetarian restaurant with locations all across Chennai, Sangeetha also offers convenient online ordering and home delivery through their website, sangeethavegonline.com.
