The traditional sattu has served humbly the people of Bihar and Jharkhand where the summer temperatures rose to unbearable heights even without global warming. Travelling long distances during these hot days were comfortable with an onion or two tied up in the turban and sattu tied to the cloth around the neck. Recent enquiries for research purposes drew only blank stares .So much so for the nutritious indigenous drink and food which is also cooling. It is better than any cold drink since it is nutritious and assimilated by the body easily. Sattu has its own benefits for all age groups.
