5 Tips for Healthier Eating

Healthy eating is what we all want. Studies have shown that even growing your own vegetables can increase the nutritional value of your dish, as store-bought vegetables can lose up to 50% of their nutrients in just one week compared to home-grown ones.

These five small adjustments can make a big difference.

  1. Eat a rainbow

For a healthy diet, you should eat a balanced and varied diet. One method to achieve this is the rainbow principle. We've all heard of it, but never tried it. Simply put, this means eating vegetables and fruits in the colors of the rainbow, thus ensuring variety. For example, you can eat tomatoes, carrots, corn, lettuce, blueberries, and red cabbage. Each of these foods has different nutritional values, ensuring the body is optimally supplied.

  1. Add microgreens

Microgreens are packed with nutrients. They are the ultimate superfood. These tiny greens are miniature versions of larger varieties but contain six times more nutrients than mature plants. They have a high concentration of vitamins and carotenoids. Perfect for adding to salads, sandwiches, soups, eggs, and much more. Our recommendation, try the radish microgreens. The fresh, spicy aroma and radish flavor will surprise you.

  1. Garnish your meal with herbs

Herbs are also very nutritious and truly easy to integrate into everyday life. If you drink a smoothie in the morning, add a sprig of parsley next time. You can also add herbs to your salads, sandwiches, and wraps. Refine your soups with fresh herbs and try eggs with chives.

  1. High-fiber vegetables

It's no secret that we could all use a little more fiber in our diets, but you don't necessarily have to eat whole grains or oatmeal to reach your fiber goal. Vegetables are enough! Spinach, beets, radishes, Swiss chard, mustard greens, peas, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and turnip greens are all high-fiber vegetables and easy to integrate into everyday life.

  1. Try something new

Have you ever heard of Salanova Caravel or Thai basil? Both are very tasty and can be used in different ways. With us, you'll find a wide selection of salads, herbs, and microgreens all year round that you won't find in the supermarket. Dare to try a healthier diet now and you will see immediate results.

With these 5 tips, it should be easier for you to eat healthily. You can find more salads, herbs, and microgreens in our shop.
