About Sides

Sides are versatile accompaniments designed to complement main dishes, adding flavor and variety to any meal. They can include vegetables, grains, starches, or salads, often rooted in diverse culinary traditions. From creamy mashed potatoes popular in Western cuisine to nutrient-packed quinoa salads influenced by South American recipes, sides offer endless possibilities. Health benefits largely depend on preparation: roasted or steamed vegetables deliver essential vitamins and minerals, while whole grains like brown rice and farro provide fiber and sustained energy. However, some sides, like fried foods or those laden with butter and cream, are higher in calories, saturated fats, or sodium, making moderation key. Choosing fresh, minimally processed ingredients can enhance the nutritional value of sides while maintaining their rich flavors.
