What Is The Nutritional Benefit(s) Of This Dish (picture) by royalicon(m): 3:08pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
Happy new year nairalanders. Please I want the nutrition experts on this forum to please analyse the nutritional benefit(s) that can be derived from this dish. When served, one may look at it as a poor man food, but no matter how poor-man food it may look, I guess something good will be the end product. The items includes: - Boiled ripe plantain - Boiled white yam - Palm oil (red oil) - Salt to taste. Let's learn as usual.

It is good that the plantain is boiled and not fried. Boiling it in its skin helps preserve the nutrients. Frying alters the chemical components and structure which isnt very good for the body. White yam is carbohydrate and it has a high glycemic index (rapidly elevates blood sugar level after consumption. Sugar from the diet is supposed to be released slowly into the blood stream) . Why not replace the yam with sweet potato. It is more nutritous than yam and rich in beta-carotene which is an antioxidant. This prevents/fights carcinogenic cells in the body. Palm oil. Hmmmmm why not vegetables instead? Salt is okay in the absence of high blood pressure 2 Likes |

as a british person that looks so good not poor man food atall here in britain that kind of food is very expensive more than british food. maybe try adding some herbs to the palm oil to make it into a proper sauce also less yam more plantain boil in the skin only use sea salt as normal salt has caking agens and stuff to bulk it out |

Thanks a lot for the info on how sweet potation in more nutritious than yam. |
