The African & Carribean Eat Well Guide

The African and Caribbean Eatwell Guide is an adapted approach to the UK’s national Eatwell Guide, designed to recognise the traditional foods, ingredients and dietary practices found across African and Caribbean cultures.

 

It demonstrates how familiar foods, including plantain, yam, sweet potato, rice, beans, pulses, vegetables, fruit, fish and lean meats, can contribute to a healthy, balanced diet. It encourages nutritional variety, appropriate portion balance and healthier cooking methods while celebrating the diversity of traditional cuisines.

 

At Fuel Your Body, we believe healthy eating should be inclusive, culturally relevant and sustainable, helping individuals make informed nutritional choices without feeling that they need to give up the foods, flavours and traditions they love.
