Gurpareet Bains, celebrated for creating the 'world's healthiest meal,' has died at the age of 45 following a heart attack. Bains first gained international recognition in 2009 with his distinctive chicken curry, featuring blueberries and a goji berry pilau, which contained the antioxidant equivalent of 23 bunches of grapes.
His culinary expertise extended to his bestselling debut book, 'Indian Superfood,' published in 2010. Bains also innovated with the 'world's healthiest cookie,' the Chikitsa Crumble, which provided five daily portions of fruit and vegetables and was designed to support heart health and manage conditions like Type 2 diabetes.
Bains's approach combined antioxidant-rich spices with nutrient-dense ingredients. He also conceptualized unique dishes such as an anti-flatulence curry and a hangover-curing cocktail. The chef, who had a following including Gwyneth Paltrow, was hospitalized after his heart attack in 2021 and passed away after his kidneys failed.
