Steemit Engagement Challenge S5/W4 - Special Food For Dinner Parties".
Hi friends....!!
What a special moment to be here to participate in this special and amazing contest organized by my favorite community (@steem4nigeria). No special occasion is worth attending without the presence of what we call item7 (Food), because food adds color to any event. In that regard, follow me below as I present the special food that suits any occasion.
1. Suggest special food that will suit special occasions like dinner parties.
Special occasions like dinner parties are not been witnessed on daily basis, but they occur once in a while. On this type of occasion, you find people from different backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs. And as we all know, people differ. They are some certain food that other people don't eat at all.
I know of people who don't eat things like beans, eggs, fish, etc. But guess what, I have not for once come across someone who doesn't eat Rice. As such Rice is the perfect food for any special occasion. Remember, everyone eats Rice because it has never in any way caused harm to anyone. As such, Rice is one of the food that when prepared on any occasion, everyone will be able to partake in eating.
2. What are the health benefits?
The benefits of eating rice can not be overemphasized as it is very vital to our body system. As you eat rice, your body stands a chance of gaining a lot of nutritional benefits. Below are some of the health benefits of rice.
Diabetes Control: are you suffering from a disease called Diabetes? If yes, rice helps to control it. It contains 55 to 64 glycemic index which helps to spike blood sugar. Eat much rice and have an increased risk of being free from diabetes.
Heart Health: Have you heard that grains like rice contain a lot of fiber? If no..., then you have learned something new today. What then is the function of the fiber in rice? Fiber helps to lower cholesterol, and as it lowers it, the risk of stroke and other heart diseases is reduced.
Cancer Risk Reduction: Rice, especially the brown one contains phenolics. Phenolics are antioxidants that are natural in plants. The function of antioxidants is, it helps to reduce the risk of cancer by keeping radicals from damaging cells.
Other health benefits of rice include:
- It helps maintain a healthy weight
- Brown rice helps to protect against chronic disease
- White rice supports energy and restores glycogen levels after exercise
- White rice is easy on the digestive system
3. Why have you chosen this particular food for this occasion?
I have two basic reasons for choosing Rice as the best food for any occasion. The first reason is, rice is one of the most accepted food around the world. As I said earlier, I have not seen, nor heard of anyone who doesn't eat rice. If rice is been used on an occasion, then no one will be left behind because everyone eats it.
The second reason is, rice is not meant for just eating to get satisfaction, but it contains a lot of nutritional benefits that all of us need to be healthy. It reduces heart disease, helps to maintain our weight, nourishes our skin, helps our digestive system, etc. The benefits of rice are just so numerous. As such, I see it as the best meal for any occasion.
4. Have you prepared this food before? Name at least 5 major ingredients that are used to prepare this special food whether you have prepared it before or not.
Below are some of the ingredients to be used when preparing rice.
- Groundnut oil
- tomatoes 🍅
- onion
- pepper
- Maggi
- salt
- carrots 🥕
- green beans etc.
5. Why does food add beauty to special occasions?
The presence of food is as important as anything on any special occasion. There are some forms of relaxation that only food can offer you. Coming to think of it, what happens if the guest gets hungry at the cost of the celebration? I believe that will bring an end to the event because no one will longer feel comfortable when hunger knocks on the door.
More to that, food helps to create more memories in the mind of the guests. As they sit to dine together, they chat, laugh, dance, and continue celebrating. But with hunger, who dances? I believe no one will dare to dance or celebrate when food is not available to keep the strength and mode of celebration. As such, I can tell you that without food, no celebration. No food, no good memories, no food, no event is worth attending.
The only food I consider to be the best on any occasion is Rice (Jollof). Ask me why, and I will tell you that it is the only food that everyone around the world eats. I will also tell you that our body system needs rice to be healthy, and free from some diseases. Use rice at your event, and your guest will celebrate with you to the end. Failure to cook rice will leave some of your guests with no option but to leave the food without eating.
I now call on @josepha, @yakspeace, and @ophinebabe to participate.
