Special cooking method and care is used to prepare alive nutrients enriched food. We cook here a manner that the nourishing elements of the food may not get destroyed. Organically grown vegetables may be dull in colour but we strongly support their use over artificially coloured vegetables. We teach patients that vegetables having marks of insects are a proof that they have not been treated with poisonous insecticides or pesticides. Definition of drinkable water is simple and straight; the water should have following three qualities; colourless (transparent), odour free and tasteless. We advocate the use of water in living form. Water which has been boiled or treated by machine leading to the loss of important mineral salts is not alive water and it weakens our body. Our practical working systems are based upon aforementioned Principles of Natural Science and we serve alive food and water in our mud dining hall to all patients.
The food prepared in our kitchen is not spicy and the coarse flour used for roti is made of germinated wheat. Visitors not only enjoy the tasty meals but also want to learn the recipes. Shri Nitish Kumar, the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Bihar stayed with us in our mud house for 3 days and also learnt the recipes and cooking method of the food served to him.
