Why it matters

Nourishing food that nobody wants to eat is not nourishing anyone. The dinners that get cooked again are the ones that taste of something, and flavour is countable: a dish with cumin, coriander, ginger, garlic, chilli, tomato and a squeeze of lime has seven things doing the work before any salt goes in. Spices and herbs are plants, and every one counts toward the thirty a week that the gut research settled on. A dish that is loud with them needs less salt to taste finished, and that is the whole connection between taste and the body: the vivid dinner is the one you keep cooking instead of ordering in.

Nothing on a plate treats a condition. But your body is rebuilt from what you feed it, and how you eat over years is yours to decide. nunu makes the nourishing choice the easy one.
