Kitchari (pronounced kich-uh-ree) is the traditional cleansing food of Ayurveda. The word “kitchari” means mixture and is a combination of split mung beans and white basmati rice with seasonal spices, herbs and produce.

Agni, or the digestive fire (referred to as metabolism in Western terms), is considered in Ayurveda to be the golden key to all health. Good agni means we are able to digest, assimilate, and absorb nutrients from our food. Weak or imbalanced agni means malabsorption and accumulation of ama, or toxins. Ayurveda believes that all healing begins with the digestive tract, and kitchari can give it a much-needed rest from constantly processing different foods while providing essential nutrients. The blend of rice and split mung beans offers an array of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Its mixture of spices is believed to kindle the digestive fire, the Ayurvedic description for your innate digestive power, which can be weakened by poor food combinations.

Through the power of Ayurveda, you can take charge of your health by using food as your medicine.
