Good Source Of Energy According to the book, 'Healing Foods' by DK Publishing House, ghee is a good source of energy. It contains medium and short-chain fatty acids, "of which, lauric acid is a potent antimicrobial and antifungal substance." Nursing mothers are often given
ladoos loaded with ghee, since they are loaded with energy.
Pinni is another Punjabi treat, which is relished across North India, not just for its taste but for its energy boosting properties too.
