A study by Indian researchers has revealed that Melye-amiley, a traditional fermented bamboo shoot dish from Tripura, has anti-obesity properties. The findings offer a natural way to manage weight.
The study, conducted by the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST), an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology, was published in the journal Food Frontiers.
Bamboo shoots hold a special place in the dietary traditions of northeastern India. In Tripura, the recipe for Melye-amiley has been passed down for generations, offering health benefits rooted in tradition.
The study highlights that Melye-amiley extract reduces intracellular lipid accumulation and boosts fat burning, making it a potential natural and cost-effective alternative for weight management.
The extract not only aids in weight loss but also supports improved metabolic health, showcasing its multifaceted benefits for overall well-being.
