Did you know that according to dietary recommendations, you need to eat at least 5 servings of vegetables per day? Some of this amount can be eaten raw, and some can be cooked? One serving is about 100 g of vegetables.
Today’s recipe will make your life easier; we will share a recipe for a delicious vegetable wok that you can cook in large quantities and then take with you to work or school. Eating enough vegetables is good for you because that way your body gets enough fibre, vitamins, minerals, and other essential bioactive compounds. At the same time, vegetables provide relatively little energy, so eating enough of them helps control weight. Be sure to follow the “plate rule” at every main meal to keep you feeling full longer!
