This Drink Is The Best: Sol Kadhi or Kokum Sharbat... Which Keeps You More Hydrated in Summer?

This Drink Is The Best: Do you know about these drinks and which one is better in summer? Let's find out about it.

 

 

Which is better, Sol Kadhi or Kokum?

Summer temperatures continue to rise. The intense heat and humidity sap our bodies of all the water in the form of sweat. Drinking water alone isn't enough. The body also needs electrolytes and cooling. In some parts of India, two drinks are popular for coping with the heat—sol kadhi and kokum sharbat.

Both drinks are made from the kokum fruit. However, their preparation methods are different. Let's find out which one keeps you most hydrated and cool during this scorching heat.

Kokum Sharbat: Provides instant energy during the scorching heat

Kokum sherbet is a great summer drink. It's made from kokum juice, water, sugar, roasted cumin seeds, and black salt.

  • In extreme heat, it immediately replenishes the water deficiency in the body.
  • The black salt and cumin present in it do not allow salt deficiency in the body.
  • It instantly lowers the body temperature and protects you from heat stroke.

Sol Kadhi: Soothes stomach irritation

Sol Kadhi is a delicious drink prepared with fresh coconut milk, kokum extract, green chillies, garlic, and mustard seeds.

  • Coconut milk keeps the stomach cool from the inside.
  • Drinking Sol Kadhi after a meal or spicy food instantly soothes acidity and stomach irritation.
  • It not only hydrates but also provides essential fats and vitamins to the body.

Which is the best for hydration?

If the competition is simply about greater and faster hydration, kokum sherbet wins hands down. Kokum sherbet is lighter to drink and is made with water, allowing the body to absorb it quickly. It instantly restores energy lost in the sun.

Meanwhile, Sol Kadhi provides hydration and protects your stomach from heaviness and heat. If you're looking for something to eat after lunch, Sol Kadhi is the best. But if you've just arrived from the sun, Kokum Sharbat is the best choice. To keep yourself safe during the summer, you can incorporate both of these into your diet in alternating ways.
