There is a lot of confusion about which are nutritious and healthy foods. Do they have to be expensive? Do they come in shiny and colourful packages? Are they the ones constantly hyped in the media? Are the imported foods superior? What about the food mom cooks and grandma talks about? What to eat and what not to eat… Yes, it can be quite mindboggling for many people.

Nutrition education holds the key to understand it all. It is an evidence-based and a cost effective way to raise nutrition awareness. It helps to encourage the adoption of a nutritious diet for better health outcomes. Nutrition education however needs simple and effective tools. Inspired by the power of real, wholesome and fresh foods plus how attractive and compelling they look together, I innovated a simple tool – Poshan Nanglo. ‘Poshan Nanglo’ literally translates to ‘Nutrition Tray.’

Nanglo is a flat and round bamboo tray, a multi-purpose handy tool in Nepali kitchen since ages. — blog.embracegoodnutrition.com/blogs
