Nutrition & Nutrient Comparison

Macronutrients in traditional foods

Traditional Pakistani meals typically combine four macronutrient sources: starch-rich staples such as rice and wheat, protein from legumes, dairy and meat, fat from ghee and cooking oils, and fiber from vegetables, lentils and whole grains. The balance between these groups varies widely by region, household and occasion.
