On hot summer days, when we're looking for something cool and delicious, a traditional Spanish drink called horchata can be the perfect choice.
Besides being an excellent source of refreshment, horchata also offers important benefits for heart health, a fact that is not widely known.
Horchata is a drink made from chufas, also known as 'Tiger Nuts.' Its process begins with harvesting the chufas, which are then washed and soaked for several hours to soften.
After that, they are ground into a creamy paste, which is passed through a sieve to separate the juice from the pulp. The result is a smooth, pleasantly flavored drink that can be consumed cold.
Professor José Miguel Soriano from the University of Valencia points out that horchata is rich in oleic acid, a compound that helps maintain cardiovascular health at good levels.
Although horchata's oleic acid is lower compared to olive oil, it still offers important heart benefits.
In addition to oleic acid, horchata is also an excellent source of minerals such as potassium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium, which are important for body functions.
It also contains vitamins C and E, which provide protection for cells and help control cholesterol.
Horchata helps maintain cardiovascular health and contains important vitamins and minerals for the body. It also helps control cholesterol and facilitates digestion, contributing to intestinal health.
Furthermore, it contains starch, which helps relieve intestinal discomfort.
Horchata is a great drink to enjoy on hot days, while also providing many health benefits, including support for the heart and overall health.
Rich in vitamins, minerals, and oleic acid, it is an excellent option for those looking for a delicious and healthy drink.
