Ever heard of vegetable ice cream? Here's everything about it
On a sweltering summer day, there's no denying the fact that everyone enjoys ice cream. It's interesting to note that ice cream lovers have been engulfed in a new trend over the past few years - ice cream that contains the health benefits of vegetables! Yes, you read that right! Here's everything you should know about veggie ice creams.
What exactly is in there?
Quite like your favorite Butterscotch, or chocolate, or mango ice cream, the in-trend vegetable ice cream is the same, just that the ice cream/sorbet is made by freezing vegetable juice/soup. The concept caught up as it lends an added nutritional value to ice creams. Today, many restaurants have added these vegetable-based ice creams to their menus. And they are quite a hit.
What flavors are we talking here?
Vegetable ice cream comes in many variants. These include beetroot, carrot, ginger, tomato, sweet corn, and just about anything that strikes your mind when you think of a veggie-based ice cream. These ice creams can also easily be prepared at home, like regular ice creams.
Is it really healthy?
Compared to frozen fruit ice creams, vegetable-based ice creams are surely a healthier option. They are low on sugar, as compared to chocolate or frozen berry variants. Additionally, vegetables are loaded with vitamins and essential micro-nutrients, thus adding nutritional value to these ice creams. Also, their health quotient can be enhanced by using natural sweeteners like coconut sugar and liquid jaggery, instead of sugar.

Although we're not saying that your health will improve dramatically as you start biting into these vegetable-based ice creams, but they are still way healthier than your regular ice creams. So, switch to them, this summer season, to give a boost to your health.
