About what root vegetables can bring to catering menus
Root vegetables are describing the underground part of the plants or roots, which is harvested for consumption. These crunchy vegetables are packed to the brim with fiber, vitamins B1 and C, minerals, and trace elements such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron. They are helpful for demineralizing, while also boosting satiety and the immune system and as such, improving our health by supporting the distribution of nutrients in the food that we eat around our bodies.
They are resistant crops, even in the cold season, because they are well hidden underground, where they take the nutrients from the deepest soil beyond the reach of other plants. They can be grown throughout most of the year and are very resistant to droughts. Furthermore, they keep better than other vegetables. Sometimes, they are associated with other cultures because they can serve as pest repellents.
For all the above reasons, the root vegetables were the protagonists of this month’s theme menu and were highly appreciated by Newrest restaurants’ customers. The campaign will continue in Newrest Greece, in the coming months, with different proposals that combine the benefits for human health and our planet!
