Healthy Global Cuisine: Italian
By Sarah E. Brown
Recent films including Eat Pray Love have emphasized Italian culture’s
decadent food heritage, but Italian food is much more than gelato and
tiramisu. Italy birthed the Slow Food Movement, an international
movement to prioritize local, organic, sustainable agriculture methods
for food production in Italy and beyond. (Source:

fresh, delicious organic ingredients need sacrifice neither excellent
nutrition nor authentic flavor .
Here at Fresh N Lean, we pride ourselves on our superbly healthful and
savory Italian cuisine. While some Italian food is high in fat,
calories and harmful animal products, our dishes feature only the
best, most nutritious plant ingredients. Harnessing the power of
healing herbs and spices, our cuisine is by far some of the
healthiest, tastiest Italian food this side of the Atlantic.
