8 Reasons Why Indians Eat With Their Hands
Ever wondered why Indians prefer to eat with their hands? It is because food tastes a lot better when you eat with your bare hands. Children too are taught to eat with their hands early as it creates less ruckus on the dining table.
Eating with hands also gives you a chance to feel the texture of your food, which is generally not felt when eaten with cutlery. Most Indians love it when they smash the aloo or grind those soft idlis with sambar and chutney in the palm of their hands. Feelings like these are only met when you eat with your hands.
WHY PEOPLE WAT WITH THEIR HANDS IN KERALA?
To experience the feeling of bliss, here are some of the other reasons why Indians eat with their hands.
Foods Taste Better When Eaten With Hands
Foods taste better when you eat with your hands. The next time a plate of rice is placed in front of you with fancy cutlery, opt for your lovely, flexible fingers instead. Indians are known for their variety of foods. It is wiser to eat with your hands to feel the richness of the Indian food.
You Feel Comfortable
Eating with your hands is very comfortable than eating with a pair of chopsticks, don't you agree? The reason Indians eat with their hands is that it gives them great comfort and allows them to enjoy their meal.
You Get To Lick The Last Contents
When you like your meal, you wouldn't mind licking the last contents! When you eat with your hands, this is possible. All you got to do is swipe your fingers across the plate and relish the last few tasty bits. This is another reason why eating with hands is beneficial.
Cutlery Is A Nuisance
Cutlery is a nuisance. Each time you use a piece, you get confused how to cut the food. Children should be kept away from cutlery as much as possible until they learn the art of using it.
Get To Experience The Temperature Of Food
When eating with the hands, you can verify the temperature of the food and it can prevent you from burning the mouth. Isn't it a saviour?
Food Has Positive Energy
Food contains various external energies - positives, negatives, pains, emotions, thoughts and so on. Now, when it passes from various people such as vegetable or spice seller, cook and waiter, it is believed that hands help in cleaning all external energies so that it does not impact the human soul.
To Get The Taste Of Bacteria
We have some bacteria, known as normal flora, found on the palm of our hand. This bacteria is not harmful to humans. However, they protect us from many harmful bacteria that is present outside the environment. When you eat with your hands, the flora present in the palms is swallowed. It is actually good for the health and for various body parts such as mouth, throat, intestine, gut.
The Smell Of Spices
This may sound gross, but it is true. When you eat with your hands, no matter how hard you try, the sharp smell of spices always stays behind. This is one of the reasons why Indians eat with their hands.
