Amazing day visiting @mitolofamilyfarms with @straight_to_the_source and @aussieonions learning all about the humble onion. How they are grown, harvested and shipped out for Australian and international consumers to enjoy. We learned all about the many health benefits of this nutrition ninja and got to enjoy the most delicious four course onion-inspired meal.
On Tuesday 21st June, together with @straight_to_the_source and @bitecommunications , I will be sharing the amazing nutrition and health benefits of onions, a true humble hero with so much goodness. We will be showcasing this versatile veg to industry professionals at @mitolofamilyfarms on behalf of @hortinnovation_au and @aussieonions . If you are interested in attending virtually from anywhere in the world, be sure to join the Instagram Live at 12.30pm AEST.
No matter how many times I volunteer at my son’s @growcookeat kitchen class at school, I am always blown away by the beautifully-presented and delicious meals these 10 year old kids produce from the produce harvested in their school garden. This week’s delicacies included salads, pasta bakes, gozleme, soup and an ammmaaaaazzibg grapefruit yoghurt cake. These kids are learning the most important skills to prepare them for the school of life (aka cooking for themselves and not resorting to Uber eats). They are developing an appreciation for seasonal produce, the skills to substitute recipe ingredients and a love for enjoying home made meals with friends 💕
Lately there has been a lot of sensationalist media headlines demonising processed food, as well as conflicting advice around which processed foods should be avoided. The reality is that food processing is a broad spectrum and if we had to avoid all processed food, we wouldn’t be able to purchase about 90% of products sold in the supermarket. I have written an article about this, which will hopefully lead to more constructive conversations around food processing, and ultimately create food that is nutritious and sustainable for as many people as possible. Link to the article in bio above.
Terms such as “processed foods” and “natural foods” continue to dominate media headlines and nutrition discussions. Yet simply advising consumers to avoid processed foods is not the panacea to solving nutrition-related health issues. Two weeks ago I was part of a panel discussion at the Alternative Proteins conference hosted by @foodfrontierorg . We discussed many topics (including the need to disassociate nutrition and processing) which have been summed up very well in this article by @future_alternative (link in bio)
Inflation and flood have caused fruit and veg prices to sky rocket recently. I was therefore stoked to pick up this huge odd bunch bag of perfectly good yellow and red capsicums for less than $8 at @woolworths_au . Not only are these red and yellow beauties perfectly good to eat, but it sure beats paying over $3 for a single capsicum and helps to ensure fresh produce is not wasted. #winnerwinnercapsicumfordinner
