Say goodbye to blandness and hello to a food static revolution with our range of Ayoola Foods products. We are ready to rescue you from the mundane! Here are some of the things you should be eating this year:
Embrace Local Superfoods:
Nigeria is blessed with a rich variety of superfoods that have been a part of our culture for generations. In 2024, it’s time to embrace them even more. Foods like moringa, baobab, and acha are packed with essential nutrients and antioxidants, contributing to overall health and well-being. They can be used to make sauces and soups and enjoyed with any fluffy swallow made with Ayoola Foods products.
Yams and unripe plantain provide several antioxidants to the body, this means Ayoola Poundo Yam, Ayoola Yam Flour, and Ayoola Plantain Flour are the way to go this new year. Incorporating these foods into your diet can boost your immune system and provide sustainable energy throughout the day.
Plant-Powered Proteins:
In recent years, there has been a global shift towards plant-based diets. Plant-powered proteins like beans, lentils, and chickpeas are not only rich in protein but also in fiber and essential vitamins. This is one of the reasons why you should add Ayoola Beans Flour to your shopping cart today. With our bean flour, you can make tasty akara, moi-moi, and beans soup and get in all the plant-powered protein your body needs. Consider including more plant-based meals into your weekly routine to benefit your health and the environment.
Hydration with Local Flavors:
Staying hydrated is crucial for overall health. In 2024, consider exploring traditional Nigerian drinks like zobo, kunu, tiger nut drinks as refreshing alternatives to sugary beverages. These local drinks not only provide hydration but also come with additional health benefits. You can make a refreshing bowl of kunu shinkafa with our Ayoola Rice Flour, our rice flour makes it easier and faster to create yummy rice-based meals and drinks of your choice.
Smart Snacking:
Opt for nutritious snacks that provide sustained energy throughout the day, snacks that can also serve as whole meals. Yam balls, akara, puff-puff are great choices, you can make them with Ayoola Yam Flour, Ayoola Beans Flour and Ayoola Plantain Flour respectively. These snacks are light but satisfying and will keep you going all day long. Nuts, seeds, and dried fruits are also excellent choices when it comes to healthy snacking options for 2024.
Diverse Vegetables and Fruits:
A colorful plate is a healthy plate. Make sure to include a variety of vegetables and fruits in your meals to ensure you get a wide range of vitamins and minerals. From the familiar staples like spinach, tomatoes, ugu, and oranges to lesser-known varieties like peach and soursop, diversity in your diet is key to optimal nutrition, and remember, there is always an Ayoola Foods product you can pair with your meal. A warm bowl of ugu soup will go nicely with Ayoola Poundo Yam, and you can pair spinach sauce with a mashed potato meal made with Ayoola Potato Flour. It is all about improving your menu and general health in 2024 and you can always trust us to come through for you.
It’s essential to focus on incorporating locally available, nutrient-dense foods into our diets.
