Food Options

Such a vegetable mix can be used as a main dish for dinner, when you do not need to overload the stomach with heavy food. Also, a vegetable side dish can become part of a therapeutic diet for people with gastrointestinal tract problems. In other cases, steamed vegetable mix can be used as a useful supplement to the main dish, which is extremely rich in valuable fiber and vitamins. Consider a few simple options for serving such a dish.

• Ideally serve steamed vegetables for fatty meat dishes. The use of fiber will help the body cope with fatty meat, which is difficult for digestion. In addition, steamed vegetables allow you to quickly get enough and eat less, which is important for those who monitor their weight and want to reduce it.
• When the steamed vegetables have cooled, they can be additionally poured with lemon juice. This will give them a fresher and sour taste.
• Steamed vegetables will be an excellent addition to buckwheat, corn or pearl barley. They go well with any kind of meat, sauce or side dish.
