Aditya Roy Kapur reveals Sara Ali Khan’s unusual flight snack: ‘It is going to smell’

Sara Ali Khan keeps her snack box simple yet nutritious, according to her co-star Aditya Roy Kapur. The Metro In Dino actor shared that her box contains an unusually large amount of broccoli. Kapur quipped that the broccoli smells, almost burnt, to which Sara playfully agreed.

During a flight, Sara opened her snack box, only to quickly eat a couple of bites before closing it again, fearing it might disturb fellow passengers. Kapur recounted the incident, saying she knew it would cause a stink.

The burnt smell of the broccoli is a result of caramelisation and charring, a process that highlights the vegetable's natural sugars and fibers. While broccoli is packed with vitamins and minerals, making it a healthful choice, consuming it in large amounts can cause gastrointestinal discomfort due to its fibre and sulfur content.

Certified dietitian Kanikka Malhotra highlighted that broccoli's antioxidants and glucosinolates may have anti-cancer properties. However, it's essential to consume broccoli in moderation to avoid potential digestive issues, apart from the charred bits that could develop undesirable compounds.
