What to do to give more flavor to healthy food

It is a prejudice to say that healthy food has no flavor or that it tastes bad. Culturally it has been said that natural foods can be simple.

It is a prejudice to say that healthy food has no flavor or that it tastes bad. Culturally it has been said that natural foods can be simple or aggressive to the palate.

Let’s talk about children’s palates.

The child’s palate or taste for food develops from the breastfeeding stage when sensory terminals in the brain awaken to recognize what is good from toxic. That is why the market and culture determine wrong ideas about this or that food. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be simple. Let’s use healthy dressings such as sprinkling sesame seeds, olive oil and vinegar on a serving of grilled green beans. Garlic is a natural enhancer of any food. Ginger nuances each bite in an exotic way. Avoid concentrated chicken or beef broths to season rice or stews. Also avoid long periods of freezing or refrigerating your food. Opt for sea salt, cayenne pepper or chili to enhance the natural flavors. Many times the way food is cooked can modify its flavor.

  • Use a grill and firewood to cook meat and poultry.
  • You can smoke some vegetables to intensify their flavor.
  • Use herbs and spices such as basil, rosemary, marjoram, parsley, nutmeg, turmeric, cayenne, mustard, etc. Pepper, oregano, garlic, cloves, anise or cinnamon give delicious flavors to dishes, in addition to being beneficial to the body. Condiments stimulate the activity and processes of salivation, swallowing and digestion of food. Use this to your advantage and try new, more complex healthy meals for a delicious meal.
