What is inclusive food?
When there is some kind of dietary restriction, eating out can become a complicated task. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Inclusive food consists of creating special menus that take food restrictions and allergies into account.
Its objective is to allow all people who have dietary restrictions to attend catering spaces and enjoy a meal without any embarrassment. For this, it is essential to know the main types of intolerances or allergies that exist and to respond to these different needs.
What are the most common types of food intolerances?
There is an increasing demand for foods suitable for different types of dietary restrictions. These restrictions can range from a personal option, to cases of more serious intolerances or allergies.
When there is an intolerance or allergy, the body itself manifests symptoms of the same reaction, and it is advisable to reduce or even exclude this ingredient from the diet.
Gluten, lactose and wheat intolerances are among the most common and, in these cases, there must be a change in eating habits.
There are also those who eliminate certain foods from their diet by choice, for various reasons.
Whatever the motivation for a dietary restriction, it is essential that it is respected and that meal options are offered that meet these needs.
Inclusive food allows you to create safe and welcoming places so that no one feels excluded and is able to have a meal adapted to their dietary restrictions.
Among the various foods to be included in an inclusive diet, açaí has a prominent role. Healthy, tasty and very nutritious, it is a superfood that you can consume without worrying about intolerances or allergies.
