Nutrition Introduction

One nutrition topic that interests me is plant based diets and how to be able to fully provide your body with everything it needs. With that, I am very interested in learning about how to use different foods to provide different nutrients, as apposed to supplements when possible.When I think about nutrition in the culinary industry, I feel that it is always playing more and more of an important role as time goes on and as more information is gathered. I think as a cook, it is our job to be educated on nutrition as we are deciding what is going in the food we sell. Within the past couple of years alone, vegan food businesses have been becoming more and more popular, which can introduce lots of new people to these diets and support their customers nutrition.
