If you need some herbs for your cooking, you can run outside to your garden and pick some fresh herbs and use them in your cooking on the same day.
Once you start using fresh produce from your garden, you will realise all the natural flavours you have been missing. A tomato fresh from the plant, tastes so much better than one bought from the store that was picked days, weeks or even months ago.
Much of the produce you buy from the food store may have been refrigerated for long periods and waiting for the demand to pick up, losing all the natural flavours in the meantime. This is often the reason why tomatoes, apples and other produce bought from a food store are often rather tasteless and without natural flavours
By growing your own herbs, fruit and vegetable you will enjoy more natural flavours and better tasting food, especially when you use them fresh from your garden and eaten on the same day.
When considering food, you also need to consider dietary needs and food allergies. There may be one or two diabetics in your family and you need to be careful how you make food that will be enjoyable but without a high sugar content.
For example, there may be a birthday party coming up and you need to arrange for a cake suitable for a diabetic. Many cake shops these days, make cakes that are without sugar, or with an extremely low sugar content. The cake will taste just as delicious, but without the high sugar content.
Having a member of the family, with special dietary needs, is an often difficult process to manage, but once you develop a pattern and know which food ingredients will not adversely affect their health, then you will know the perfect choice of ingredients when cooking meals.
After all, many dietitians recommend that diabetics eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
