Wow, the thai green curry tasted amazing. I was pleasantly surprised by the lovely flavours (and smells) despite no added salt or sugar. As a cardiac rehabilitation nurse I am always promoting healthy eating and cooking food from scratch in line with the Mediterranean and DASH diets. Having cooked this dish and seen how it only contains 42mg of sodium in 100g (way below our aggressive targets for those with heart failure or heart attack) and despite adding low fat coconut milk to still have less than 1gm of saturated fat per 100gm is truly marvellous. I will be promoting heartful flavours to my cardiac patients and encouraging them to try. Well done to the heartful flavour team and look forward to seeing more healthy recipes soon.
