How Does This Ayurvedic Recipe Improve Wellness?
CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Begin your spring morning right with Savory Corn Pancakes. Moist and hearty, accented with smoky-sharp chipotle and cumin, these rustic pancakes will make you smile first thing in the morning. A dash of apple cider vinegar gives soothing moisture to the grainy texture for a hearty, satisfying breakfast of champions!
Variations of corn flour pancakes are found throughout traditional cuisine of Central and South America, from the arepas of Colombia to Salvadorian pupusas. Their enlivening flavor is a tried and true recipe for a great day in many countries. One taste of these nourishing cakes will leave you wishing you discovered them years ago.
Steamy Spring
Savory Corn Pancakes are an ideal hearty breakfast for spring. Corn is the preferred grain in spring because of its mild diuretic properties, counteracting the dampness of spring. Cumin and chipotle heat up and dry your body in early spring to help you prepare for warmer weather ahead, effectively mimicking a hot cedar sauna. Its drying effect is useful for any spring dampness and excessive wetness in the body, such as mold allergies and congested lung conditions. They absorb fluids from the large intestine helping to bind loose stool.
Weight Loss Pancakes
Savory Corn Pancakes will fill you up without weighing you down. One of the toughest obstacles while trying to lose weight is debunking the misconception that you must be hungry in order to succeed. Not so- by satisfying your appetite while improving your metabolism, these pancakes are a recipe for success! Often used for weight loss, apple cider vinegar strongly increases the flow of bile. Bile is a fatty, oily substance made by the liver, and stored in the gallbladder. It helps you digest fats. Since bile is also a fatty oily substance, draining bile from the liver to the small intestine pulls fats out of the blood. Chipolte and cumin turn your digestive fire into a nice hot blaze, boosting your metabolism of fats. Please feel free to enjoy any and all benefits of this hearty breakfast!

INCREASES
Increases These Biocharacteristics (Gunas)
Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics
(gunas).
Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick.
Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.
Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food.
Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body.
Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food.
Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods.
Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion.
Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste.
One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes.
The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent.
Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?
According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine,
people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person.
Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness.
Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
The 3 functional body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass.
Catabolic people tend to be easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic people tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Anabolic people are heavy, stable and grounded, but if they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion.
Experiences vary according to the person and constitution. Individual results may vary.

Taste is very good. It's like having a meatless tamale for breakfast! I followed the directions to a "t" and had to add more Masa for the consistency to work - that was the only "issue" I had. I can't think of anything that would improve the flavor. I'll definitely be making again.
