healthy-eatingThe Greek diet has evolved into one of the healthiest in the world, with its foundations built on simple, nutritious food that offer a host of health benefits. These immunity boosting ingredients help to fight against heart disease, cancers, diabetes, and cognitive decline.

Here are some tips from GRK Fresh Greek’s Business Head Andres Gonzales, on how to get healthy the Greek way, leading up to the holiday season.

Balanced diet

The best of GRK Fresh Greek

The Greeks consume their food in the purest form, with a variety of nutrient-rich recipes consisting of raw fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish, and a small amount of cheese and yoghurt. Dairy products, poultry and fish are consumed in moderation, whilst red meat consumption is kept to a minimum. These elements are key to a balanced, healthy diet.

GRK Fresh Greek offers a range quality produce imported from Greece, including extra virgin olive oil, pure and natural Greek honey and Greek yoghurt, with the highest quality local meats, fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits, in order to deliver an authentic dining experience.

Snack on fruits and vegetables

Fill up on fresh fruit and vegetables, native to the Mediterranean landscape. This includes fruits such as apples, oranges, lemons, apricots; and vegetables such as eggplants, artichokes, leafy greens, tomatoes, and cabbage. The high levels of antioxidants in these foods help fight against diseases that affect the nervous system, and generally contribute towards good health.

GRK offer a range of mouth-watering vegetarian options, including flavourful, fresh salads, Portobello mushroom Pita, Grilled Mediterranean Vegetable Souvlaki, paired perfectly with fresh Tzatziki sauces and healthy sides such as Brown Rice, Aegean Slaw and Grilled Halloumi.

Prepare your meals the traditional way

GRK’s menu also offers a range of delicious and authentic meat based dishes, which are prepared using traditional healthy methods, such as chargrilling or roasting on a traditional vertical spit. Greek people are famous for their love of olive oil, which contains less saturated fat than butter and is a healthy choice for cooking. Other traditional seasonings include nuts, tahini, garlic, herbs, cinnamon and cloves, which add an intense flavour to dishes without fat or sodium and supports nutrient absorption.

GRK Fresh Greek’s iconic Yeero is prepared using all natural, grass and grain-fed meat, marinated in a special blend of aromatic spices and fresh herbs, served with a range of unique house-made Tzatzikis.
