Canadian Embassy promotes ‘Super Ingredients’

 

Delegates and representatives from the food industry were encouraging people to eat healthy ingredients from Canada at a press conference on Monday 26 January. The Canadian ambassador to Mexico Sara Hradecky was among those promoting the country as a key exporter of canola oil, wheat, oats and meat. The conference was designed to foster trade and encourage people to eat food that combats obesity and diabetes. 

Farmers and heads of the food industry came to the platform to promote their products, such as barley, which is high in fiber and low in fat, and pulses whic

h are rich in vitamins and great for weight loss. Those in attendance were served a delicious menu, beginning with a barley salad, followed by a lentil hamburger and a carrot cake. 

A catalogue of products available in Mexico is available on the website, which contains a list of quick and delicious recipes and information about the stores selling Canadian foods. www.saboresdecanada.mx
