As we near the end of the first month of 2021, we look back on the last four weeks. Did we manage to form any new, healthy habits? In particular, around the food and drink we consume.

At the Culinary Food Group we have a range of products that can assist consumers kickstarting or continuing their healthy habits this year. We have a variety of fabulous natural and nutritious stocks which can contribute to many health and wellness products. For example, our stocks are rich in collagen which may offer improved gut, joint and skin health.

Within our pasta range we can offer enriched pastas, wholemeal, gluten-free and vegan options, without compromising on taste, texture or consistency.

Or perhaps you are looking to create a calorie reduced range? Without cutting flavour, we make some excellent nutritionally balanced sauces that are low in fat, sugar and salt, and taste great! We can produce ambient stir fry sauces, which can be added to stir-fry veggies and lean protein to provide a healthy, high fibre meal.

The following recipe contains many nutritional benefits and is perfect for this time of year:
