How to Make Kitchari for Cleansing and Immunity

Monday December 9, 530-7 p.m. $25

The Ayurvedic Center of Vermont
34 Oak Hill Road
Williston, Vermont 05495

This simple dish made from mung beans and rice is an ancient and healing combination.  Eaten at times when the immune system is compromised or for special seasonal cleansing purposes, kitchari is a holy food.  You can think of kitchari as the Ayurvedic (and vegetarian!) equivalent to chicken noodle soup.  Nourishing for mind, body and soul, kitchari kicks up the metabolism and immune system.


 If you’re looking for a simple and wholesome meal to prepare for yourself and your family, or interested in learning why and how Ayurveda uses food for healing, learning how to make kitchari will empower you.  Come and share a meal made with local vegetables and organic ingredients, and learn to make this dish hands-on
