Satisfy Today's Healthy Appetites - “Trend Bulletin”
For Immediate Release
Satisfy Today’s Healthy Appetites -“Trend Bulletin”
As Americans hunger for healthy options, the potato offers a surprising alternative. A good source of vitamin C, potassium and dietary fiber, a medium potato has less than 100 calories. Operators can comfortably serve the health-conscious crowd with potato serving suggestions and recipes that are featured in the latest Satisfy Today's Healthy Appetites - “Trend Bulletin” FREE from Basic American Foods.
The new Bulletin provides operators with innovative yet simple tips, which help operators go beyond diet-conscious terms such as 'low-fat or 'low-carb' on menus. One suggestion is to describe cooking methods, since today's dieters choose menu items based on cooking techniques. For additional appeal, servers can draw attention to menu descriptions for terms such as 'grilled, baked, broiled, dry-sautéed and poached.'
Serving suggestions are also included for pairing potatoes with protein items and with nutritional toppers such as fresh salsa, basil pesto, curry and fresh dill. Satisfy Today's Healthy Appetites also features health-wise recipes, including: Taco Salad Lettuce Wraps; Cuban Black Bean Chili with Spit-Roasted Chicken; and Braised Vegetable Stew.
Recipes feature Basic American Foods' family of convenient, great-tasting products, including: Santiago® Vegetarian Refried Beans with Whole Beans; Santiago® Seasoned Black Beans; and Potato Pearls EXCEL®.
