Tips

 

• Shitake mushrooms, like most mushrooms, are high in Vitamin B and may be related to weight loss. This is because they blend well with meat dishes and helps to add flavour and volume, making us feel full without adding calories, cholesterol, fat and sodium.

• Tips for buying minced meat: Avoid pork and beef that are mainly white because this shows that the meat contains a lot of fat.

• Diabetes: Pumpkin is one of the recommended foods that can be used to serve in place of white rice. Add diced pumpkin to minced pork mixture for additional nutritional benefits too.

• Dysphagia: Blend meat for a finer texture instead of having it minced. Add 200ml water to egg mixture to get a softer texture.
