Benefits:
Improves Vitamin C deficiency
Jaljeera powder is loaded with dry mango or amchoor that is rich in Vitamin C. It helps in building immunity and keeps scurvy at bay.
Treats indigestion
Jaljeera is like an elixir for people who are suffering from acidity and indigestion during the summer season. Not only indigestion, but it is a smart solution to get respite from acidity, bloating, and other gastric issues.
Low on calories
It is the perfect substitute for all the carbonated drinks loaded with sugar. Jaljeera is a carefree drink because you can have it as much as you want and no need to worry about the calories.
Prevents anaemia
The cumin content in the jaljeera aids in preventing anaemia because it is rich in iron. It also hydrates and keeps your body cool.
