Purpose 2022: put into practice the kitchen of utilization

 

According to the data of the “Food waste study 2020” presented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, each Spaniard threw away an average of 31 kilos/liters of food and drink, which represents a total waste of 1,364 million of kilos/liters of food in our country. For this reason, at Avianza we want to propose a commitment for this year: the utilization kitchen.

Poultry meat, one of the richest in nutrients and most versatile when it comes to cooking, is ideal for this purpose, and we will demonstrate it to you periodically with tasty and easy-to-prepare recipes. From Michelin-starred chefs to the most famous cooking and gastronomy blogs, they have dedicated themselves to exploitative cuisine, so we encourage you to look for the recipe that you like the most, whether with chicken, turkey, quail or other birds. Delicious!

One of the keys that these chefs provide to avoid waste is to make a good purchasing plan, based on purchasing what is going to be prepared without trying to store unnecessary products in the refrigerator, which are often doomed to spoil.

Practical advice.

Another important aspect is to seek to fill our shopping basket with versatile products and what do we mean by this term? A good example would be the grilled chicken which allows us, in addition to eating it initially with a good salad, later to make croquettesas he teaches us Alfonso Lopez of Yummy Recipes. West roast chicken broth, hand in hand with Martha Miranda from the specialized website crokpotting. 

At Avianza we want to promote efficient cooking, and to do so we share several proposals for delicious and healthy recipes using that leftover poultry meat that you can get a lot of use out of.

Is it good to eat chicken? The delight of eating chicken

 

MADRID, December 16, 2021

People keep wondering that if they are hormonal, that if the skin makes them fat... but chicken should be an essential in our kitchens and, below, we explain why.  

  • TOP nutritional value for the Healthiest

Chicken is high in excellent quality protein, high in unsaturated fats and low in calories. According to Spanish Nutrition FoundationIn 100 grams of chicken, 20% are proteins, 70.3% is water and only 9.7% are lipids or fats.

  • The proteins that inspire Fitness

Chicken contains up to nine amino acids: tryptophan, valine, threonine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine and phenylalanine. Thanks to them, for example, we reduce stress levels, prevent heart disease and maintain and improve our muscles.  

  • Easy and light digestion

Chicken does not stimulate the production of acids in the stomach or gastric motility, which makes it a highly recommended meat for people with digestion problems or who are going through a temporary gastric illness.

  •  The versatility that the most foodies are looking for

Chicken is an animal from which the vast majority of its parts can be used in different types of preparations, whether baked, grilled, boiled, stewed, breaded, stewed or even en papillote. Yes, it is important to take into account the age of the chicken to determine the type of cooking. The younger the pieces are, the more advisable they are to prepare them in the oven, while the older ones require longer cooking times such as stews and stews.
