Salt Awareness Week runs from Monday 11th to Sunday 17th March, and the aim is to show that everybody, including chefs, can use less salt and still enjoy the full flavour of their food.
Tossed says this is something it has being doing since it first launched in 2005.
Vincent Mckevitt, founder of Tossed, said: “I am the first to support ‘Less Salt, Please!’. At Tossed, we help people make positive changes to their diets without trying that hard. Whilst the body needs a certain amount of salt to get rid of toxins for example, the salt naturally found in foods such as prawns and cheese is more than enough. And these are a good source of protein, when eaten in moderation.
“A balanced diet is what healthy eating is all about. Eating five-a-day is paramount, that’s why we have always shown the portions of fruit and vegetable in all our dishes, along with saturated fat, protein and calorie content. Take our Berry Punch smoothie for example, it contains 3.2 of your daily fruit with 0.1 g of saturated fat, and with our Greek Salad with 2.4 of your daily veg, you see how easy eating five-a-day can be.”
