What makes Vietnamese Cuisine Popular & Healthiest?
Like many countries, Vietnam is no different when you talk about some specialty dishes and healthy food. Vietnamese cuisine gives huge importance to a perfect balance when they prepare their dishes, particularly. Traditional Vietnamese food aims for striking a balance in various aspects of its cuisine like nutrients, taste, and presentations as well, and that is achieved by paying attention to basically 5 elements per aspect.
When you talk about spices, for example, a balance is pursued between bitter, sour, spice sweet, and salty. When Vietnamese food is presented, cooks strongly aim to have the colors red, green, black, white, and yellow in their spread. That can be the main reason, why Vietnamese is considered to be one of the healthiest cuisines around the world. They specifically try to bring in the perfect balance of nutrients such as fat, carbohydrates, minerals, water, and protein.
