Choose healthy food for Tet

Ms. Vu Thi Tho in Pham Ngu Lao ward (Hai Duong city) has maintained a healthy diet for more than 3 years. Ms. Tho said: “I proactively increased the amount of vegetables, reduced the amount of meat, fat, and salt in cooking. From eating red meat, stir-fried and fried dishes, I have now switched to eating more white meat such as chicken breast, fish, etc., and eating more boiled vegetables. Tet is no exception, however, I often calculate a reasonable amount of calories for the whole family. In addition, this Tet, I also make nutritional candy to give to relatives and friends.”

Grasping the trend of many people, currently, many businesses and establishments have produced many types of healthy products for Tet. Ms. Trinh Thi Thu Uyen, representative of Gau Healthy Mart store on Bui Thi Xuan street (Hai Duong city) said: "Currently, the store has nearly 500 types of products for consumers to choose from. On this occasion, products such as brown rice banh chung, nougat, whole grain cookies, onion cakes, snowflake cakes, many types of nuts such as macadamia, walnuts, cashews are chosen by many people. In the process of producing confectionery, we always pay attention to reducing sweetness, reducing fat, using sugar-free, skimmed milk, diet butter...". Because the input materials are higher than those of conventional ingredients, the prices of healthy products are also higher. In particular, onion cakes with cheese are 220,000 VND/500g; Snowflake cake with shredded cheese 210,000 VND/500g... In addition to selling directly at the store, Ms. Uyen also focuses on doing business on a number of e-commerce platforms and social networking platforms. Near Tet, on average, Ms. Uyen's store has about 50-60 orders per day, an increase of about 30% compared to normal days.

According to Ms. Luong Thi Ha, representative of the franchise branch of Behapy Vietnam Production and Trading Company Limited in Hai Duong (headquartered in Hanoi), the company's Tet gift baskets focus on healthy products that are becoming increasingly popular such as: some types of nutritious nuts (cashews, almonds, macadamia nuts), herbal tea, dried fruit, low-sugar candies, fermented fruit juices... Popular gift baskets are priced from 350,000 to 1 million VND. In addition to Tet gift baskets, the company also has many types of retail products. In particular, imported organic fermented fruit juices are in high demand because many people have proactively reduced their alcohol intake during Tet to ensure their health. Therefore, the number of customers shopping at the branch has increased by 30% compared to last year's Tet.

Nowadays, consumer trends have changed significantly, more and more people know and choose healthy products, especially during Tet with the desire to welcome a healthy and happy Tet.
