Accredited Practising Dietitian (DAA) and Accredited Dietitian (HKDA),
Danica YAU said, "A dish prepared with vegetables of different
colours can offer greater variety of nutrients, including vitamins,
minerals and dietary fibre. Dietary fibre can lower cholesterol,
prevent constipation and increase satiety, hence preventing excessive
food intake. Using apple as dish ingredient allows natural flavour to
shine through so the use of condiments can be reduced."
