  1. Gourmet Burger Builder Veg Out!

  2. The Challenge Create a burger with fruit and vegetables to add colour, flavour and texture.

  3. Why add fruit and vegetables? • Adding fruit and vegetables to a burger can provide: • Texture – crisp and crunchy celery • Colour – grated red apple with the skin left on • Flavour – fiery chillies • Aroma – sweet pineapple chunks.

  4. Why add fruit and vegetables? • Fruit and vegetables can also enhance the nutritional content of your burgers: • Fibre • Soluble and insoluble fibre is found in fruit and vegetables. Fibre can reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers, and also help with weight control. Fibre also helps to maintain a healthy gut.

  5. Why add fruit and vegetables? • Vitamins • Fruit and vegetables provide: • Vitamin C, which is important for maintaining healthy body tissues • Vitamin A for the maintenance of normal vision, skin and the immune system.

  6. Why add fruit and vegetables? • Minerals • Fruit and vegetables provide: • Folate, which is needed for the formation of healthy red blood cells and for the nervous system • Potassium, which helps maintain a healthy blood pressure and is also involved in the normal functioning of the nervous system • Magnesium, which helps maintain normal bones and teeth.

  7. Get creative! • Using the food cards, make random combinations of up to three fruit and vegetables. • Do the mixtures of flavours, colours and textures appeal to you? • Ask a friend what they think.

  8. Nutritional analysis Task Use the Gourmet Burger Builder to create a burger which includes the three fruit and vegetables that you have chosen. At this point, do not add any other ingredients to the burger mix or bread and toppings after the burger has been cooked. Using the recipe provided, use a nutritional analysis programme, such as Explore Food (http://bit.ly/1qAP1e1), to analyse the nutritional content focusing on fibre, Vitamin C and Vitamin A.

  9. Nutritional analysis Task 2 Re-create your chosen burger using the Gourmet Burger Builder and this time add your choice of bread and toppings. Using the recipe and a nutritional analysis programme, produce a front and back of pack label for your burgers.
