But what about others, for them here&#8217;s a detailed story on Why they used to serve it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-did-jet-airways-use-to-serve-imli-candy-on-their-flights\">Why did Jet Airways<strong> use To Serve Imli Candy<\/strong> on their Flights?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qph.cf2.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-03be5addd53f5ed1dff60aff83075dd6-lq\" alt=\"Why does Jet Airways serve sweet tamarind (imli) in all of their meals?\" width=\"875\" height=\"491\"\/><figcaption>Image credits to its Original Creator<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it is known that tamarind is full of good health properties. Tamarind helps prevent digestive difficulties and throat infections. It helps those having stomach discomfort. It works also as an antidote to heat stroke. Moreover, tamarind is a good source of vitamin C. Tamarind intake curbs airsickness<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>during long-haul flights, according to leading health experts.&nbsp;<strong>Undeniably, these reasons are good enough for Jet Airways to add sweet tamarind candies in inflight meals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Motion sickness<\/strong> is familiar to some travellers during takeoffs and landings. It causes a sinking feeling in the stomach. Preventing motion sickness is among the health benefits of tamarind intake. In addition to this, tamarind reduces nausea, which is also a common symptom of inflight sickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why sweet tamarind candies are served on Jet Airways flights has another strong reason.<\/strong>&nbsp;Tamarind is good for the prevention of retraction that is bulging eardrums. Some travellers experience it during takeoff and landing. The difference in air pressure levels outside the ear and the middle ear cavity causes bulging of eardrums, at changing altitudes during a flight. Sweet tamarind candies trigger salivation, thereby causing frequent swallowing, which helps equalize air pressure levels between the outside ear and the middle ear cavity to prevent retraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some inflight chefs opine that passengers of Jet Airways flights are given sweet tamarind candies instead of mouth fresheners<\/strong>&nbsp;because tamarind is cheaper than any good quality mouth freshener cost-wise. Since travellers began to like the tangy and sweet flavour of tamarind candies, it was made an integral part of all meals on Jet Airways flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-119.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-119.png 640w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-119-600x433.png 600w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-119-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-119-150x108.png 150w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-119-120x86.png 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Image credits to Indian Eagle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweet tamarind candies were previously given to travellers on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/?s=Air+India\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Air India<\/a> Flight<\/strong>s and other airlines in India.
