KODAMPULI
The kodampuli sold at Kapila Nalam is indeed selected for its highest quality standards. They specifically focus on sourcing organically grown kudampuli, which are cultivated without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This organic farming approach ensures that the kudampuli are free from potentially harmful chemicals.
In addition to organic cultivation, the kudampuli undergo lab testing to assess their quality and safety. Specifically, they are tested for the presence of polyphenols and MDA (malondialdehyde). Polyphenols are a class of antioxidants found in plant-based foods, including kudampuli. They have been associated with numerous health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and protecting against chronic diseases.
MDA is a compound that can form when foods undergo oxidative stress or degradation. Its presence can serve as an indicator of freshness and quality. Testing for MDA helps ensure that the kudampuli are of high quality and have not undergone significant deterioration or oxidation.
