This lovely little recipe base is one of the many things I received in my "Women's Health" show bag from the Sydney Royal Easter Show (Just a little FYI if you don't know what that is, it is an annual Show held for two weeks in late March - Early April for Easter in Sydney Olympic Park. I'm sure Google could give a more detailed explanation!). The actual show bag itself of course contains the usual pamphlets that nobody ever really uses but other than that I was treated with many goodies, one being this delicious Indian treat which is actually quite healthy!
Now, any foody out there will love this post, I'm sorry if you're really not interested but I thought I'd share my thoughts on it as I am very health conscious and I'm sure quite a lot of you are too? :)
The actual meal itself was delish! The flavour wasn't as strong as the Butter Chicken I usually have but keeping in mind that it is healthy I was open to difference. The flavour is a sort of smokey kind and it is subtle, not in your face flavour! Being as delicious as it is I am going to rate this dish a 4.5/5 because I am very impressed. Being a gluten free, low fructose, peanut free, 100% natural, dairy free, no common allregens, soy free and zero preservatives product - I was a little scared it was going to be bland (brainwashed by society that all healthy food is yuck) but I am pleasantly surprised!
Within the recipe bases, Stevia is used instead of sugar!
Stevia is a herb derived fron the Stevia Rebaudiana (what a mouthful!) plant that originated in South America. Stevia is a natural sweetener and it allows the amount of cane sugar in food products to be reduced or removed entirely. It has a long lingering sweetness note, which is different from cane sugar.
- Natural.
- Up to 300 time sweeter than sugar.
- Healthy alternative to sugar.
- The leaves of the Stevia plant contains steviol glycosides (another mouthful!), where the sweetness is derived from.
- Stevia is safe and approved by FSANZ (Food Safety Austr
alia & New Zealand) - Great alternative to artificial sweeteners.
- Stevia plants are not genetically modified.
How cool is Stevia?!
The Celebrate Health products can be found in Coles and selected retailers all over Australia :)
Hope you enjoyed :)
Au Revoir!
