Nourishing Food Items with Similar Health Benefits to Green Tea

Did you know that Catechins like Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) isn't exclusive to green tea?

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a type of catechin, which is a class of flavonoids found in certain plant-based foods.

While green tea is one of the most well-known sources of EGCG, there are a few other foods that also contain this beneficial compound, although generally in smaller amounts.

Here are some foods that contain EGCG:

1) Black Tea: Black tea also contains EGCG, but its levels are lower compared to green and white teas due to the oxidation process involved in its production.

2) Berries: While not as high in EGCG as tea, certain berries like raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries contain catechins, including EGCG, which contribute to their antioxidant content.

3) Apples: Apples contain a variety of polyphenols, including catechins like EGCG. Opt for whole apples to benefit from their nutritional content.

4) Dark Chocolate: Dark chocolate with a high cocoa content contains catechins, including EGCG. Choose chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for the best potential benefits.

5) Broad Beans also known as Fava Beans or Sem ki phali also do contains catechins. These can be enjoyed in form of cooked sabji/soups/stews etc.
