– Use more root vegetables for dinner – Parsley root, parsnip and celery root produced in Norway are now in the store. They are short-lived, quick, easy to prepare, and packed with nutrients. If you never put these in your cart, you’re missing out on a lot of the good stuff, says food consultant Toril Gulbrandsen at frukt.no/The Information Office for Fruit and Vegetables (OFG) in a press release.
And she continues: – Root vegetables are also something kids love, because they get a slightly sweet taste when treated with heat.
All the good you can do with parsnips
78% of the population does not eat 5 times a day
The survey conducted by Kantar on behalf of OFG showed that only 22% of Norwegians eat the recommended 5 a day.
Eating more fruits and vegetables for all of the day’s meals is a challenge for most of us, but if you can fill half a plate with fruits and vegetables every time, every day, you’re already on target.
Just thinking that in half the plate there should be vegetables – simple, right?
TRay Beck – an easy way to prepare dinner
