In light of new government guidelines school caterers have been tasked with creating menus that are healthy and nutritious yet still appeal to kids.
Rice offers a great alternative to chips on a school menu and Tilda supports the work of the School Foods Trust in pioneering healthy eating awareness in the country’s school catering system.

“We are all encouraged to eat plenty of starchy carbohydrates for energy. Indeed the balance of good health, which is the model for a healthy diet advocated by the Food Standards Agency, recommends that a third of our intake should be of starchy carbohydrates.

Rice is an excellent form of starchy carbohydrate and is extremely low in fat as well as being a valuable source of B vitamins”
