The Transformative Power of Flavor
Recorded Tuesday, May 14
Adding
more flavor to MyPlate may help the public achieve recommendations
outlined in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Increasing flavor
through the addition of spices and herbs not only enhances the enjoyment
of food, research suggests it can be an effective tool to help meet
dietary recommendations. New studies show that flavor can help change
taste preferences and make it easier to adhere to a diet plan that is
lower in sodium, sugar and fat. Enhancing flavor also increases the
palatability of healthy food, especially vegetables. Additional studies
suggest flavor may play a role in satiety, weight management and overall
wellness.
