Returning home to Australia? Are you thought of as a vulnerable member of society? Have you been in contact with someone with COVID19? |
|
|
IN THIS NOTE TO YOU ARE SOME TIPS FOR STOCKING YOUR KITCHEN + WHAT TO COOK |
|
|
Frozen vegetables and fruits are usually picked at the height of their ripeness, when they're bursting with nutrients. They're then snap-frozen, locking in the vitamins and minerals. Keep some on hand in your freezer. |
|
|
Frozen vegetables: Green beans Peas Corn Broccoli Cauliflower Carrot Spinach Brussels sprouts Broad beans Kale |
|
|
Use frozen fruit for smoothies, such as: Strawberries Coconut meat Berries Avocado Banana Mango Cherries Watermelon Passionfruit Grapes |
|
|
Cooking with frozen vegetables will mean there is a higher water content. You will need to use them in recipes such as: stews, curries, stir-fry. Frozen fruit can be defrosted in the fridge and used to top granola and yoghurt or blended in smoothies. |
|
|
For those of you who are stocking-up on pre-made sauces and marinades, please use this to guide you towards a healthier choice. per serve less than 500kJ less than 15g total fat less than 5g saturated fat less than 10g sugar less than 500mg sodium |
|
|
BUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTT to make it easier on yourself, remember our Winter Warming eCookbook includes sauces, marinades and curries made from scratch so you don't have to worry about nasties. |
|
|
Cooking with TINNED FOOD Reduce sugar and salt content by rinsing canned fruits and vegetables in a strainer. For canned fruits, opt for fruit packed in light syrup or 100% fruit juice. For canned vegetables choose low-sodium or no-salt-added options. |
|
|
Then you have your shelf stable items: Olives Artichokes Grilled capsicum Grilled eggplant Dill pickles Sauerkraut Kimchi Flours Grains Canned goods (jackfruit, legumes, vegetables + fruit) Long life milk (oat, almond, etc) Coconut oil, Olive oil, Rice bran oil |
|
|
LET'S REMEMBER, IT IS A 14-DAY SELF ISOLATION. The commercial sector wants to make money, they will do what they can to restock shelves as soon as possible. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN YOU NEED, THINK OF OTHERS. |
|
|
If you're like me and prefer to use fresh produce, then you may want to do meal prep in your first week of isolation. Have someone deliver two weeks worth of fresh vegetables. Enjoy crunching into a fresh carrot in week one; make salads, wraps, burgers, etc. Cook and freeze meals for week two. |
