What will be Hungary’s favourite healthy food?

Another round of the “What does the country eat?” gastronomy survey is about to begin. This time, they are looking for the best healthy food and how healthy Hungarians eat. Competitors include the pineapple burger and vegetable patty.

What does the country eat?

What’s the country eating? Hungary’s biggest gastronomy survey. Previously there was a cake survey, a barbecue survey and an international favourites survey. This time, the most popular healthy foods among Hungarians are being sought.

The competition runs from 1 October until 30 November. There are dozens of healthy dishes to choose from, and you can add to the list if you don’t find a favourite. The research not only sheds light on the most popular healthy foods, but also reveals how Hungarians diet and what proportion of the country has food sensitivities.

Pineapple burger, chia pudding and many more

Among the dishes are chicken breast with colourful vegetables, pineapple hamburger, chia pudding, stews, grilled fish and vegetable soup, says sokszinuvidek.hu. In the questionnaire, the healthy lifestyle questionnaire also includes sugar consumption, adequate fluid intake and exercise.

The answers show how much Hungarians eat and live healthily. “The research not only asks questions, but also gives a lot of recipes and advice to those who are just starting to adopt a healthy lifestyle,” said Krisztina Ratkai, the research’s initiator.

The research is sponsored by the health and lifestyle website EgészségKalauz.hu and the Hungarian Dietetic Association (MDOSZ), which recently produced the Hungarian nutritional recommendation OKOSTÁNYÉR. This proposal replaces 12 points of a more than 30-year-old nutritional recommendation, based on the latest international scientific findings and legislation, taking into account Hungarian dietary habits.
