Nutritionist’s note: saving by eating in season
Falling autumn leaves don't have to mean falling back on unhealthy eating habits. It's important that eating well becomes routine, rather than a dreaded task on the to-do list.
The Odd Bunch range delivers a great boost of nutrition without the price tag. These fruits and veggies might look a little different on the outside, but they are packed with the same nutrients and flavour as the "perfect" looking ones - for at least 20% less! A pinched or bumpy exterior has absolutely no impact on the nutrition quality.
Nutritionist’s Note: Saving by eating in season
Kūmara
Kūmara is a versatile, delicious source of quality carbohydrates for cooler evenings. Wash them well but keep the skin on to get an extra boost of fibre!
Carrot
For picky eaters who judge by appearances, try grating carrots or dicing capsicum and tomatoes into bolognese or muffins. It’s a clever way to add nutrition without the fuss of preparing a separate vegetable side dish.
Mandarin
As the weather cools down, mandarins and oranges are delicious, easy-peel lunchbox additions to support your immune system. A 150g serving provides a good source of vitamin C when consumed as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
Chilli
Add a punch of flavour to autumn curries and stews by dicing up chillies - a great way to warm up from the inside out.
