Diabetes is posing a serious lifestyle challenge needing immediate attention and this initiative is committed to building awareness for diabetes prevention, management and making healthy yet tasty food choices. The core of Britannia’s philosophy is “Eat Healthy, Think Better” and taking this proposition forward we were the frontrunners in making biscuits with different grains, such as Oats, Ragi, and Multi-grain etc. The insights we received after speaking to many diabetics, caregivers, doctors, nutritionists, is that there were not enough food options for the diabetic population. This is why, we have invested into products such as Britannia NutriChoice Essentials, and are partnering with initiatives such as the Diabetic Food Trail. It’s a small step in the direction of making India more diabetic friendly.
The Britannia NutriChoice Essentials Masterclass enabled diabetics to recognize the importance of eating nutritious and well-balanced meals with a regular fitness routine for effective diabetes management, besides learning to read packaging labels and ingredient’s nutritional values through an interactive session with a renowned nutritionist Geeta G.H. , there were present Chef Jinnendra from Smally’s, Bangalore who crafted No Bake Muesli Cheesecake with NutriChoice Essentials Oats Cookies, Twisted Ragi Choco Cake with NutriChoice Essentials Ragi Cookies, and Celebrity Chef Irfan Pabaney from Sassy Spoon, Mumbai who made Curried Quinoa salad, roasted pumpkin and brown rice risotto and Chef Tamil from Anjappar, Bangalore, who madeDrumstick Soup and Bitter Gourd Poondu Kulambu. They weaved their culinary expertise into crafting mouth-watering yet healthy food options spanning in the insightful Masterclass. This was aimed at busting the myth that diabetic food is bland and boring, audience was informed of each recipe’s caloric & nutritional value including that of the dessert.
Ali Harris Shere, Vice President – Marketing, Britannia Industries Ltd., “India is known as the Diabetes Capital of the world and ranks 2nd after China with 70 million people living with diabetes.
