The lutein in zucchini encourages skin health by reducing inflammation responses. It also promotes skin hydration. Zucchini is also full of vitamin C and A.
Cardamom has anti-inflammatory and cleansing effects.
This recipe pacifies pitta and vata.
Vata benefits from the grounding effects of the sweet potato as well as the hydration from the zuchini. This recipe is baked which does result in less hydration than sauteed zucchini.
Pitta benefits the most from this recipe as it has an overall anti-inflammatory and cooling effect on the body fostering cleansing and cooling of the blood which supports skin health.
