Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday appreciated the efforts of Abdul Rashid Mir of Chakura village in J&K for taking an initiative to promote the export of snow peas, saying “the people of Jammu and Kashmir are also not lagging behind in making local products global.”
“What Jammu and Kashmir has achieved last month is an example for people across the country. The first consignment of snow peas was sent to London from Pulwama here,” PM Modi said in 111th episode of his ‘Mann ki Baat’ radio address – the first after the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
“Some people got the idea... why not bring the exotic vegetables grown in Kashmir onto the world map! And lo and behold… Abdul Rashid Mir of Chakura village was the first to come forward for this. He started growing snow peas by integrating the land of other farmers of the village and within no time, snow peas started reaching London from Kashmir,” Modi said. “What Jammu and Kashmir achieved last month is an example for people across the country.”
“This success has opened new doors for the prosperity of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. There is no dearth of such unique products in our country. You must share such products with #myproductsmypride,” the PM said, adding, “I will also touch upon this topic in the upcoming ‘Mann Ki Baat’.”
The snow pea has flat pods, thin walls and is edible. It is eaten whole — both the seeds and the pod — while it is unripe.
Kashmiris relish the snow pea dish as an important part of greens consumed by the otherwise non-vegetarian people.
Snow peas contain vitamin C and antioxidants.
“Snow and sugar snap peas are an excellent source of vitamin C, providing 100 percent of your daily needs in just 3.5 ounces (100 grams). Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant associated with impressive health benefits, such as reduced heart disease risk and improved blood pressure control and immunity”, experts said.
The PM Modi also talked about how the 10th Yoga Day was celebrated in Kashmir with great enthusiasm and zeal.
“I also participated in the yoga program organized in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. In Kashmir, along with the youth, sisters and daughters also participated enthusiastically on Yoga Day,” he said.
