Well what if we told you that by mixing up your recipe and including some dried fruit, nuts and seeds, you could completely transform your dish and dazzle at dinnertime?
Ambitious Additions:
When you think of gravy additions for your roast, you may be tempted to add some onions or some garlic. The list of potential ingredients feels fairly limited, but have you ever thought about adding some dried fruit? Specifically chopped apricots?
By adding some apricots to your gravy you will get a dose of Potassium, proven to help maintain normal blood pressure levels and support standard muscle function. Because of this, factoring a handful into your diet where possible will support a healthy circulatory system! Furthermore, Potassium is crucial to the maintenance of a healthy and responsive nervous system – particularly important as we get older.
You’ll find that a few simple swaps can make a big difference in both taste and nutrition. Dried fruits, nuts, and seeds pack powerful nutrients into every bite, making your favourite meals better for you and even more satisfying.
Why stop there? These superfoods are extremely versatile and provide limitless opportunities to experiment with different flavours, textures and colours! Why not give some of the below additions a try?
