Soya as your Food Power Source ⚡️ There are many reasons to enjoy soya in your menu. One of the most important things to know is that it is a product you eat more than you know, and it is good for you and for your health. Let’s start at the beginning; Soya is a versatile small bean and has a major role in our current food. Imagine, in the far east it is already important in the daily consumer menu for over 2000 years. It just is a marvelous plant-based delicacy. 🌱 Soya is plant based, meaning it is lactose free, as there is no cow milk or other dairy used to produce it. Another characteristic is that it is gluten free. It is low on saturated fats, sucre and is a source of high-quality proteins, calcium, and the vitamins D as well as B12, reducing your fatigue. Did you know that more than 90% of the soya that consumers in Europe eat are “invisible” as they are ingredients in other food products. Most animals’ diets consist for a large part of soya. Do you enjoy chicken as many Dutch persons do? The annual consumption per person of chicken is 22 kg and 60% of that weight is derived from soya. Soya is also part of your other meat sources, cheese and many sauces that are part of our menu. One of the most powerful products made with soya beans is Tofu. It serves as a valid alternative for meat and is made from curds of soya milk through adding minerals based on calcium and magnesium. Tofu is best known for absorbing any kind of flavor. Plant based, healthy, tasty and a great ingredient to use to make delicious and powerful dishes. This miso soup is one of my favorite dishes that contains tofu.

Lamb seekh Boti (Meat) is a popular dish in South Asian cuisine, consisting of skewered and grilled pieces of lamb marinated in a variety of spices and herbs. Here's a breakdown of its calories and benefits: 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: The caloric content of lamb seekh boti can vary depending on the specific recipe and portion size. On average, a typical serving (100 grams) of lamb seekh boti contains approximately 200-250 calories. This includes calories from the lamb itself and the marinade, which often contains oil and yogurt. 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀: 𝟭. 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻: Lamb is a great source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair and growth. 𝟮. 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗗𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲: Lamb contains essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and selenium, which support various bodily functions. 𝟯. 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝘀: Lamb contains both saturated and unsaturated fats. While moderation is key, the fat in lamb can help in maintaining energy levels. 𝟰. 𝗜𝗿𝗼𝗻-𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗵: The heme iron in lamb is more readily absorbed by the body compared to non-heme iron from plant sources, helping to prevent anemia. 𝟱. 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: Zinc and selenium in lamb contribute to a healthy immune system. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 While lamb seekh boti has nutritional benefits, it's important to consume it in moderation due to the presence of saturated fats and cholesterol. Opting for lean cuts of lamb and using healthier cooking methods (like grilling) can enhance its health benefits. . . . #qualityassurance #foodblogger #meat #foodindustry #foodsafety #qualityanalyst #qualitycontrol #haccp #iso9001 #iso22000 #qms #fssc22000 #seasoning #quality #health #nutrition #nutrionist #riskassessment #diet #calories #food #hygiene #compliancemanagement

Have you heard of Mellorine? It's a delightful frozen dessert made by blending milk-derived nonfat solids, animal or vegetable fats, and nutritive carbohydrate sweeteners, enhanced with delicious flavorings. Mellorine contains at least 6% fat and a minimum of 2.7% protein, assuring a Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) similar to whole milk protein. To keep it nutritionally balanced, ingredients like chocolate, cocoa, fruits, and nuts are carefully measured. Enriched with Vitamin A, Mellorine provides 40 IU per gram of fat, with all ingredients clearly labeled in accordance with regulatory standards. Unlike traditional ice cream, which is made primarily from milk fat, Mellorine uses vegetable or animal fats as substitutes. This switch in fat sources allows for a unique consistency and taste while still maintaining a high nutritional profile. #Mellorine #FrozenDesserts #SweetTreats #FoodScience #Nutrition #InnovativeDesserts #FrozenDelights #FDA #FSVP #Food #Foodsafety

Happy weekend! One of my favorites- quick and easy, nutritious, with a side of black beans! Enjoy! 🙌🏼🥑 To make avocado toast a healthy meal, focus on balancing its nutrients by adding fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Here’s how you can enhance its nutritional value: 1. Whole Grain Bread: Use whole grain or sprouted bread instead of white bread for more fiber and nutrients. 2. Healthy Fat from Avocado: Mash a ripe avocado and spread it on the toast. Avocado provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and vitamins. 3. Add Protein: Boost the protein content by adding toppings such as: • A poached or scrambled egg • Cottage cheese or ricotta • Smoked salmon or turkey slices • Tofu or tempeh slices 4. Add Veggies: Top with nutrient-rich vegetables for added vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. Options include: • Sliced tomatoes or cherry tomatoes • Cucumber or radish slices • Spinach or arugula 5.

🌟 The Rising Concern of Ultra-Processed Foods: What You Need to Know 🌟 Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are raising alarms due to their negative impact on health. Studies reveal a troubling connection between UPFs and the surge in type 2 diabetes cases. 🥺 What are UPFs? They are often loaded with sugar, unhealthy fats, and artificial additives, lacking essential nutrients. Common examples include sugary drinks, packaged snacks, and ready-to-eat meals. While convenient, their long-term consumption can jeopardize our health. But fret not! Making small dietary changes can yield significant benefits! Consider these swaps: - Oatmeal instead of sugary cereal - Greek yogurt over regular yogurt - Whole grain bread in lieu of white bread - Air-popped popcorn instead of chips - Avocado as a substitute for mayonnaise And for a delicious and nutritious breakfast alternative, try our Cottage Cheese Pancakes! Packed with protein and flavor. 🥞✨ 👉 For additional insights and suggestions, visit our blog: myexperiences.co.uk/blog Let's prioritize our well-being together! 💪💚 #HealthTips #Nutrition #FoodSwaps #UltraProcessedFoods

How to build a balanced meal: Step 1: Fill half your plate with vegetables The vegetables you choose must be non-starchy (all veg except for potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas and corn) and they can be fresh, in the form of a salad, roasted or steamed, as long as they take up the greatest portion on your plate. Step 2: Fill a quarter of your plate with carbohydrates Your choice of carbohydrate must be wholegrain and could be in the form of products such as, bread, rice, pasta or even the starchy vegetables mentioned above. Step 3: Fill a quarter of your plate with protein It is important to choose lean cuts of protein, such as chicken, fish, lean beef mince or eggs, to avoid consuming excess salt and fat. Step 4: Add a small portion of healthy fats Aim for around a thumb sized portion of healthy fats per meal. These healthy fats are those that are classified as unsaturated and could include extra virgin olive oil, avocado, nuts or seeds. Step 5: Choose an appropriate beverage Water is the preferred beverage source. Having at least one glass of water at every meal will help you reach your daily goal of 2L of water per day. Don't forget about fruits and dairy! You can add these into any meal or snack to meet your recommended daily intake of each. Have fun creating your meals!
