Here’s why dim sums are among the healthiest options when eating out

If you, too, have found yourself in a dilemma about what to eat when you are not at home, we have got you covered.

Nutritionist Pooja Makhija recently took to Instagram to suggest a dish that you can relish guilt-free.

She revealed that dim sums are among the healthiest eating-out options. Explaining the reason, the nutritionist mentioned that these are generally bite-sized, high in protein, low in carbohydrates, and steamed.

According to Makhija, steamed foods are the healthiest and most versatile. “This process helps retain vitamins and minerals,” she said, on the benefits of steaming.

"Steaming, in fact, enhances vitamins such as vitamin B, thiamine, niacin, vitamin C, etc. Additionally, minerals such as potassium, calcium, phosphorous, and zinc are retained,” she explained.

“Since steaming softens the fibres of vegetables and fruits, it makes the food easily digestible and our body can absorb all that nutritional goodness more easily,” she concluded.
