Eating a nutrient deficient diet is as good as not eating at all. Even if you are making sure that your food is rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and other nutrients, there are high chances that it loses its nutritional value before you eat it .
Very few people know that during cooking, if the utensils are not made of the right material, then most of the nutrients of the food get destroyed. This happens in the following three ways:
-
Conventional cookware (metal or ceramic) releases toxins into the food during cooking. At cooking temperatures, metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, cast iron, etc., leach ions and react with the food – a biochemical entity, with heat acting as a catalyst. As a result, the food gets contaminated and becomes unhealthy. These toxins cause serious health problems in the long run, ranging from short-term ailments to chronic diseases.
-
Furthermore, the heat from these utensils is destructive to the delicate nutritional cells in the food. Touch a metal pan for five minutes on heat, it burns your skin and leaves a mark, food is made of the same tissue and gets damaged during cooking.
-
The steam has to be released through a vent before the lid can be opened. So, the water soluble nutrients evaporate. This is another way nutrients are lost.

How is Pure Clay different?
Pure clay is 100% safe and healthy for making cookware because it is made from primary clay – clay without natural contaminants. The following characteristics of pure earthen pots ensure that the food cooked in them is healthy:
-
These utensils do not mix any kind of chemical or metal in the food while cooking.
-
They cook with a unique far-infrared heat that penetrates deep without damaging the grain. It is heat friendly and cooks slowly thereby retaining the nutrients.
-
This healthy cookware has excellent steam management properties. The ergonomically designed pot and lid uniquely allow the steam to circulate inside and cook the food with its own steam pressure. The straight walls of the vessel, its concentric circles, the inner flutes on the lid and the bottom of the knob allow the cool steam to rise, condense and fall directly into the vessel. This prevents water soluble nutrients from evaporating as steam like in conventional metal/ceramic cookware.
All these great features make the food nutritionally rich and really healthy for you and your family. No more worrying about toxins leaching into your food or nutrients being lost, choose Healthy Pure Earthenware today and enjoy healthy food for the rest of your life.
