High fibre, high prebiotic recipe: Red lentil curry soup
The Monash University Department of Gastroenterology is researching the impact of a high prebiotic diet. This diet is designed to establish a healthy balance of gut bacteria, needed for optimal health. The diet emphasises the consumption of foods that are high in prebiotic fibres. Prebiotics are fibre compounds that pass through the stomach and small intestine undigested. When prebiotics arrive in the large intestine, they promote the growth and activity of beneficial (probiotic) bacteria that reside here. Having a healthy balance of gut bacteria may benefit digestion, the absorption of minerals and immune system function. Trish Veitch is a qualified chef and a master’s student in the Monash University Department of Gastroenterology. Trish is researching the impact of a high prebiotic diet on gut microbiota. In this video, Trish demonstrates the preparation of a four bean salad with Gideon Cordover, who was featured in an ABC Catalyst episode, broadcast on 14 & 21 August 2014. This Catalyst episode investigated the effect of a high prebiotic diet on various metabolic markers.
The four bean salad is quick and easy to prepare at home, using readily available ingredients. It may be accompanied by side dishes featuring vegetables and salads.
Note: All food was prepared with good hygienic practices including equipment sanitising, handwashing and avoiding cross contamination.
For more information regarding the health benefits of a high fibre, high natural prebiotic diet, and some delicious, nutritious, high prebiotic meal ideas, see detail via the department web page:
