Statia introduces digital nutrition recipe booklet
The Public Entity St. Eustatius presented the digital version of the Statian Nutrition Recipe Booklet today, Wednesday, December 8th, 2021. The booklet is to encourage a healthy lifestyle and better eating habits. The guide aims to promote local foods.
The booklet was made in collaboration with the Pan American Health Organization and based on common recipes of Statia. The Directorate Social Domain asked community members to assist with Statians recipes. ‘’ We sincerely appreciate their input and are very grateful that locals put this booklet together,’’ says Carol Jack, director of the Social Domain. ‘’The recipes were adapted to a healthier version with the objective to remain tasty’’, she says.
Healthy
The Social Domain encourages all residents to make healthier choices as outlined in the nutritional booklet and enjoy the tasty meals with family and friends. St. Eustatius does not have any food-based dietary guidelines yet. With this project, the first steps are taken.
The booklet will be printed. A hard copy will be distributed to each household on the island.
