Terracotta: "Baked Earth"
Food cooked in a clay or earthenware is good for health. According to Ayurveda “cooking in a clay pot not only has a variety of health benefits but also makes for an easier cooking process more flavorful and nutritious dish. The recent researches done proved Teflon coated cookware is one of the reasons for the cancer cause. It is simpler to cook and improves the nutritional quality as the earthen cookware add calcium, phosphorous, iron, magnesium and sulphur to food, which is extremely beneficial. Clay is also alkaline and thus, neutralises the acidity in the food, which makes it easy to digest. The porosity and natural insulation properties of clay cause heat and moisture to circulate throughout clay pots. This causes moisture and nutrient loss as compared to cooking in metal or enamel-lined utensils. ”Earthenware is eco-friendly, unglazed earthenware is 100% completely biodegradable when disposed of unlike Teflon pans and steel pots that fill up landfills increasing waste. The availability of earthenware is not much accessible to urban society. Hence, the use of earthenware is mostly limited to semi-urban and villages only. Terracotta is a type of iron-rich earthenware (and so a rusty red colour) that is often left unglazed so that it can absorb water. It is used for a range of applications. Plant pots, flooring and roofing tiles and storage jars, but not usually for plates, cups or other crockery.
So, Earthenware refers to the type of clay, and terracotta is a type of earthenware.
