mensaVital

The menu concept mensaVital is our contribution to a healthy diet. Balanced recipes create wholesome and sustainable dishes prepared with fresh ingredients.

mensaVital stands for:

• nutritionally balanced combination of ingredients*
• vitamin-preserving and low-fat cooking
• use of high-quality fats and oils
• our contribution to the " Five a day " campaign (five portions of fruit and vegetables a day)
• careful food selection (whole grains, legumes, nuts, lean meat, crisp veggie mix)
• daily offer of fish, meat, vegan, and vegetarian dishes in a balanced mix
• refraining from fried and breaded foods
• refraining from using significantly prefabricated products
• fresh and natural ingredients
• refraining from using flavours and flavour enhancers
• use of fresh herbs instead of a seasoning mix
• creative recipes with seasonal foods
• combination of regional and international cuisine

* One portion at lunch corresponds to the energy requirement for the midday meal of an adult (19-65 years) with sedentary occupation (physical activity level = 1.4).
