Apple Sesame Tart
Why is this dish healthier?
Fruits not only add crunch and flavour; they're also low in sodium and rich in potassium. This balance is beneficial in helping to maintain a healthy blood pressure.

Healthy cooking tips
- Enjoy the edible skins of fruit and vegetables as they provide additional fibre and nutrients.
- Use fresh fruit, dried fruit, fruit juice or fruit sauces as healthier alternatives over sugar to sweeten your desserts.
- Fruit and vegetables are low in sodium and high in potassium. This helps to maintain a healthy blood pressure.
