Make the switch to salmon a scrumptious one.
Partnering with Sam Wood (The Bachelor Australia), Tassal has joined forces with Australia’s renowned fitness trainer to encourage Aussie dinnertime diners to switch to salmon to help improve their eating habits and adopt a healthier diet.
The initiative conducted by Australia’s largest producer of Tasmanian grown Atlantic salmon, Tassal conducted a survey, Switch Up Your Diet Report by YouGov to learn more about the eating habits of Australians.
Apart from discovering that more than half of survey applicants (56%) are feeling bored of their regular diet and only trying one new recipe a month; interestingly, almost three in 10 (27%) said that a reason they do not eat as healthily as they could is because they do not have time. All in all, 85% of Aussies admit they would like to improve their eating habits and adopt a healthier diet.
This is where Tassal and Sam Wood come in. After discovering that 44% of survey applicants were unaware of what salmon’s main beneficiary, omega-3, is or its benefits are for the body, Tassal teamed up with Sam Wood to design a quick, easy, delicious meal that highlights the superfood.
