Mediterranean Inspiration: Potatoes and White Grapes


              How to combine savoury & sweet meal? 

 Combining savory and sweet flavors in a meal can have several benefits, including:

Enhanced Flavor: Combining sweet and savory flavors in a dish can create a more complex and satisfying taste experience.

 For example, adding a sweet fruit like pineapple

 to a savory dish like stir-fry can balance out

 the salty or spicy flavors and create a more well-rounded taste.

Balanced Nutrition: By incorporating both sweet and savory

 ingredients in a meal, you can ensure that you are getting

 a balanced mix of nutrients. For example, a meal that includes

 grilled chicken with a side of sweet potatoes and steamed

 green beans provides a good mix of protein, 

carbohydrates, and vitamins.

Increased Variety: Combining sweet and savory flavors

 can help you to create a wider range of dishes and cuisines.

 For example, many Middle Eastern and North African dishes incorporate

 sweet spices like cinnamon and nutmeg with savory ingredients

 like lamb or chicken.

Better Digestion: Some experts believe that combining sweet and

 savory flavors can help to aid digestion by stimulating

 the production of digestive enzymes. This can help to prevent

 digestive discomfort and promote overall digestivhealth.

ENJOY!
