Ayurvedic Apple Chutney Fresh fruit chutneys are traditionally part of an Ayurvedic meal, because they not only add delicious taste but they help add nutrition and improve the digestion. Fruit is highly praised for its vitamin and mineral content, especially vitamins C and A, which makes them natural antioxidants that help protect the body from free radical damage. According to Ayurveda, fruit is one of the most pure foods we can eat. Fruits enhance ojas, the finest by-product of digestion, considered in Ayurveda to be that which sustains life itself. Fresh fruit chutneys add flavor to the meal, and help add a number of tastes — sometimes all six tastes that are recommended by Ayurveda to be included in every main meal. Spicy chutneys bring balance to mild dishes, and sweet chutneys bring balance to spicy dishes.
