E ver wondered whatthose little sprigs ofgreens were on your

plate, when you dined out at afancy restaurant? Maybe youthought they were just decora-tion, or the garnish? Ami Mottahad the same thoughts, thoughher curiosity led her to find outmore, and that is when she stum-bled upon the superfood called microgreens. Why superfood?They are packed with minerals, vi-tamins and anti-oxidants, that will go a long wayin ensuring that you stay ‘in the pink’ of healthalways. And today, Goa has its own homegrownorganic food brand InThePink microgreens.

Sprinkle some on your omelette rassa poi athome, or your daily serving of sorpotel, chickencafreal or just the humble sabzi,dal and roti, thesewill always enhance the flavour of any dish,whilstgiving you added health benefits. Add it to yourjuices, sandwiches or even your desserts or piz-zas, even cheat days will no longer make you feelguilty. Whether sweet or savoury be your taste,these go with pretty much everything.

InThePink grows and sells around 20 differ-ent varieties,with more to be added in the future.

They are available for `99 as a sin-gle varietal, or even a combo box of two differ-

ent varieties, at most popular supermarkets inNorth and South Goa. If you are a first timer,then the boxes even mention the flavours and tex-ture of each microgreen. Or keep an eye out forthe InThePink team, when they visit supermar-kets over the weekends to answer all your queriesand maybe sample some microgreens too.

InThePink is also looking at launching microgreens based health drinks and chutneys.Their urban farm in Sangolda ensures that dif-ferent varieties are grown consistently and un-der hygienic conditions to always have a steadyand sufficient supply. They have the capacity tosupply to all of Goa,including hotels,restaurants,cafes and so on. But whatever be your food ofchoice,a dash of microgreens will definitely perkup the taste and your body.

Rules■ Connect adjacent dots with vertical or

horizontal lines, creating a single loop(Fig A).

■ Crossovers or branches are not allowed(As shown by dotted lines in Fig B).

■ Numbers in the puzzle indicate the num-ber of lines thatshould surroundit, while emptycells may be sur-rounded by anynumber of lines.

■ You can’t drawlines around ze-roes.

■ Each puzzle hasjust one uniquesolution.

How to begin: Ex-ample (Fig A) - Be-gin with the zeronext to 3. Since nolines can be drawnaround zero, markcrosses around it,as shown. Now there is a cross in one space around 3. So we know the threelines of 3 can only be drawn in the remaining three spaces. Next, these linescan only be extended in one direction each. Continue, using the same logic.Hints: Keep eliminating possibilities by marking crosses in spaces betweendots where a line isn’t possible, i.e., if you have already completed requiredlines or where a line extension may create a branch or cause a deadend (Fig B)

A recent studypublished in thescience journal

PNAS suggests that peo-ple who are generous orthose who share morelive longer.

In their analysis,Fan-ny Kluge and TobiasVogt found a strong lin-ear relationship betweena society’s generosityand the average life expectancy of its members.

The researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Re-search in Rostock, Germany, concluded that people are living longer insocieties whose members support each other with resources.

As per the study, societies in western European countries share a lotand live long. Sub-Saharan African countries such as Senegal share thelowest percentage of their lifetime income and have the highest mor-tality rate of all the countries studied. Although South Africa is eco-nomically more developed than other African countries, few resourcesare redistributed;here too, the mortality rate is relatively high, the studyfound. — ANI
