Eating Smart- Cooking Healthy
Eating healthy and cooking healthy go hand in hand....
A healthy balanced diet isn't just about eating the right kind of food. The way that you
buy, store, prepare and cook your food, and even the pots, pans and equipment you use, all
have a significant impact on the nutritional value of the food you eat.
Buy the freshest. Buy only the freshest fruits and vegetables available in the
market. Seasonal fruits are the most nutritious as they ripen without the usage of
additional chemicals and are more reasonably priced.
Eat fresh. Refrigerating food for long periods results in the loss of vital
nutrients. So buy in small quantities and cook for the day! Also try and avoid storing
leftover food, as re-heating results in nutrient loss.
Eat veggies and fruits with their skin on. As far as possible, eat vegetables and
fruits unpeeled so that you don't lose out on fiber and nutrients. Vegetables and fruits
like cucumber, potatoes, carrots, apple have vital nutrients right under the peel which
you lose out on if you peel them. Remember to scrub these vegetables and fruits thoroughly
before you eat them as they may contain a thin film of mud and pesticides. |

Tip of the week
Cooking:
Easiest way to chop raisins is sprinkle some flour over them so they don't
stick. Cut with a small kitchen scissors as required.
Health:
Raw vs. Cooked: Did you know that slight cooking or chopping of some
vegetables might be necessary to release the nutrients they contain? Avoid overcooking
your veggies, which can destroy nutrients and choose a variety of both raw and 'cooked to
tender' veggies.
Cookery term
Crimp:
To create a decorative edge on a piecrust. On a double
