Why Presentation Matters

Ever found it hard to say no to that colourful strawberry shortcake with a drop-dead gorgeous icing? Well, you aren’t the only one. Dishes that look good are simply hard to resist.
It’s for this reason that nutritionists insist that food must be presented in an appealing manner.
Khutajia Begum, Clinical Nutritionist at Citizen’s Hospital, explained, “In many food outlets like bakeries, ice cream parlours and fast food corners, the food is presented in an attractive manner. Similarly, homemakers should work on attracting children to healthy foods by cutting beetroot, carrots, tomatoes into different sizes and shapes. Children like such styles of presentation. A dash of greens and veggies, cut in different ways and used as dressing, can grab a lot of attention.”
Dressing foods in eye-catching ways creates interest. And this applies even to those healthy dishes that people usually abstain from.
