Notes:
Sattu is rich in protein, fibre, iron, magnesium, and potassium, making it an ideal choice for combating fatigue and keeping one energised throughout the day. Its protein content supports muscle repair and growth, while its fibre aids digestion and regulates blood sugar levels, providing a steady source of energy. Additionally, sattu’s iron helps prevent fatigue by supporting oxygen transport in the body, while its magnesium and potassium contribute to overall energy metabolism and muscle function. Incorporating sattu into the kokum coolant not only enhances its nutritional value but also ensures sustained energy levels and well-being throughout the day.
