What to Cook for a Host that Avoids Enriched Foods

[amya]

I have a host coming up that can not have any food that has been "enriched." I'm not exactly sure what this means. I know she limits flour in her food - such as corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can demo for her show?

Use the Seven Layer Southwestern Salad recipe in the Souper Salads Recipe cards.

I like the salad idea, but I don't have the SA Large Bowl. Any suggestions as to what to use instead?

Hi there! It sounds like your host may have dietary restrictions or preferences when it comes to enriched foods. Enriched foods are typically processed foods that have nutrients added back in after they have been stripped during the refining process. Some examples of enriched foods are white flour, white rice, and certain types of bread and pasta. To accommodate your host's needs, I would suggest focusing on whole, unprocessed ingredients in your demo. Some ideas could be a fresh vegetable stir fry with brown rice, a quinoa salad with roasted vegetables, or a homemade black bean and sweet potato chili. You could also showcase some of our products that can help make cooking with whole foods easier, such as our spiralizer for making zucchini noodles or our food chopper for chopping vegetables. I hope this helps and that your host enjoys the demo!
