Rujuta gives a logical breakdown of the foods that need to be consumed, and those that need to be avoided during monsoon.

Rujuta actually surprises with the recommendation that certain types of green leafy vegetables need to be avoided. We imagine green leafy vegetables to be the cure-all for most diet-related queries.

She also mentions how it is all right to eat pakoras in the rains, because it has been traditionally consumed in this particular season.

Mangoes too are recommended by Rujuta, as it is the fruit of the season, and is actually a good addition to our food.

Rujuta Diwekar outlines the best way to eat right this monsoon.

Rujuta's take is refreshing and close-to-roots at a time when most of us are racing to consume super foods that are not even easily available.

Wouldn't it be a better idea to stick to fresh vegetable,es and produces that can ve accessed in the nearest subjiwallah's thela?
