🌍✨ Day 2 of our Food Safety & Hygiene Training with GNS-Kitwe food handlers at Barloworld!
Today’s focus was on nutrient retention techniques in the kitchen an essential part of ensuring that the meals we prepare are not only safe but also nourishing. 🍲🥦🥕
We had another highly interactive and engaging session, where participants shared cooking practices, asked practical questions, and learned new methods to preserve the goodness in food. The atmosphere was vibrant and filled with curiosity! 💡💬
The most powerful takeaway from today was the realization that how we cook directly affects the health value of the meals we serve. Some of the key lessons included:
✅ Using healthy cooking methods like steaming, grilling, and sautéing to preserve nutrients
✅ Avoiding overcooking, which leads to nutrient loss
✅ Minimizing exposure of food to excess heat, air, and water to keep vitamins and minerals intact
✅ Storing foods properly to prevent spoilage and nutrient degradation
These simple but effective practices stood out as game changers in improving the nutritional quality of meals. After all, safe food is good, but safe and nutritious food is even better. 🌟
The commitment and enthusiasm of the team continue to shine, and with every session, we are building stronger, healthier, and more knowledgeable food handlers 💪🔥.
Stay tuned as we keep unpacking vital topics on food safety and hygiene, raising the standard for safe and nutritious meals in Kitwe! 🌍✨
