Do a Dessert Flip!

Dessert FlipDessert is a fun ending to many meals. How about a dessert flip! And there is research to back up this choice.

With the continued push to eat more plant foods, why not add them to dessert! Sensory research conducted at the University of California-Davis and the Culinary Institute of America evaluated dessert choices of 118 college students. They wanted to see if increased amounts of plant food garnishes, such as fruit and nuts, would entice diners to make the flip. Instead of the conventional 80% cake and 20% fruit and nuts combination, more participants chose a dessert of 80% fruit and nuts with 20% cake.

Making the dessert flip can also reduce the cost per serving while increasing fruits and nuts. It is as simple as cutting a smaller piece of cake and adding fruit to dress it up.

Will you do the dessert flip?

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to
    be really something which I think I would never understand.

    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

    I do not know if it’s just me or if everybody else experiencing problems with your site.
    It seems like some of the text in your content are running off the screen.
    Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too?
    This may be a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.

    May I just say what a relief to find someone who truly understands what
    they are talking about on the internet. You definitely realize how to bring a
    problem to light and make it important. More people ought to
    check this out and understand this side of your story.

    It’s surprising you aren’t more popular because
    you surely have the gift.

    Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I
    need some guidance from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog?
    I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
    I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start.
    Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks

    Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this site.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get that
    “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance.
    I must say you have done a excellent job with this.

    In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Internet explorer.
    Excellent Blog!
