Indian Research Agency Develops Seaweed-Based Snack To Boost Immune System

June 8, 2020: 12:00 AM EST
India’s Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has developed a nutrient-dense, gut-friendly seaweed-based snack designed to boost immunity during the coronavirus pandemic. CSIR has already supplied tons of Spirulina Groundnut Chikki, which was endorsed by the Central Food Technological Research Institute, to healthcare professionals and migrants across Bengaluru, Mysore, and Delhi. The snack provides bioavailable micronutrients such as vitamin A, beta carotene, and easily digestible algal proteins. Chikki is a traditional Indian candy made of peanuts and sugar, and is known for its nutritional and energy-boosting properties.[Image Credit: © Anaïs CROUZET from Pixabay]
