We cannot imagine starting our morning without a warm and comforting cup of tea. Here are five foods that you must avoid with chai.
Tea contains tannins and oxalates that can inhibit the absorption of iron in the body. Thus, the body would not be able to absorb the iron content from green vegetables.
Adding turmeric to chai or having turmeric-rich food items with tea can prove harmful to the body. Turmeric contains curcumin, while tea has tannin and the combination of both together may cause gastric problems.
Curd is a cold food and tea is a hot beverage. Pairing curd or any other cold product with tea can be harmful and cause digestive discomfort.
