9 Ramadan Sehri Food Ideas for the Holy Month

Sehri, also often known as Sahūr, Suhūr or Suhoor is a predawn meal which is eaten before the fasting begins for the day. The food is to be taken before the fajr prayer. While a lot of importance is given to the Iftar meal, which usually ends the fast after sunset, it’s equally important to have a healthy Sehri to keep yourself energised for the entire day.

Asda, fortunately, has everything under one roof. With the holy month just round the corner, Asda has all the ingredients required to prepare a wholesome and delicious Ramadan Sehri food.
