Timing is everything! ⏰ Specially for a good marinade. Did you know that you shouldn't leave fish and veggies marinating for the same amount of time as for meat? Fish and veggies are more delicate and only need about 30 minutes to soak up all those delicious flavors, while meat benefits from a longer marination—up to several hours or even overnight. 😉 But here’s a secret tip just for you: when using a marinade with high acidity, like one that contains lemon juice or vinegar, avoid marinating for too long, even with meat. Extended exposure to acids can break down the proteins and result in a less desirable texture. So next time you’re preparing a marinade, remember that the clock is your friend. 🤝 Perfect timing will bring out the best in your ingredients, making your dish a true showstopper.  #CatalinaFoodSolutions #fishindustry #innovation #foodindustry #naturalingredients

Elevate your veggie game this summer 🥕🥦🍅🌽 Experiment with grilling, roasting, sautéing, or air frying your vegetables—each method unlocks distinct flavors and textures. Swap out typical chip dips for homemade veggie-based spreads, incorporating roasted and pureed veggies blended with hummus. Brighten up your summer salads with vibrant additions like colorful bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and crisp cucumbers. Opt for thinly sliced sweet potatoes, beets, and carrots crisped up in the air fryer for a healthier twist on traditional potato chips. Support your local farmers this summer and savor the freshest produce by exploring nearby farmer's markets and fruit stands this summer. What's your favourite way to eat your veggies?

If you are celebrating your South African 🇿🇦 heritage with a braai tomorrow 🍗 , here is a great idea for something a little bit different: - Chicken Skewers, served with dips and seed flatbread. If you have a fire-proof pan, you can even make the flatbreads on your braai! - Making your own dips and marinade rather than using store-bought varieties gives you more control and means you know exactly which ingredients have gone into those dishes. - Using whole-wheat flour and oat flour in the flatbread adds healthy fibre, lowering the glycaemic index and aiding in blood sugar control. - Homemade chicken skewers are a great lean protein option, and this protein further lowers the glycaemic index of the meal.

Did you know, offals have a higher nutritious value than meats? The edible offal is a valuable source of minerals and protein. The market may help meet nutritional needs while maximizing resource efficiency and lowering the environmental burden of growing meat production by meeting the demand for high-protein meals through animal byproducts. Offal can be a component of meatballs, sausages, pâtés, and other prepared meats.

Have you noticed the prices of produce lately? Shocking, right? Walking through the market has you second-guessing what you want to put into your cart. Because it’s frustrating when you open up your refrigerator days later and find something wilting or rotting in the back. You spent good money on it! And now it’s going in the trash. As a plant-based eater, I feel your pain. I can’t tell you how much produce I’ve thrown away these past few years. You buy it for a recipe, using a small portion. You tuck it away with the best intentions. You throw it away days later. Can you relate? Simple hacks that make your fruits and veggies go further #plantbased #veganuary https://lnkd.in/gsArcbZC
