Tip to increase fruit sales and goi cuon

Potato and beetroot pancake with omelet
Food Diary (September 30, 2011)
Breakfast: Rolled oats with coconut, raisins and sunflower seeds
Lunch: Potato and beetroot pancake with omelet
Dinner: Semolina with yellow peas

I made the Flaxseed Oatmeal Crackers again, 2 days in a row, but this time I added a small amount of cumin powder. The result was great but I didn’t add enough cumin so the flavor was quite subtle. I think whole cumin would have been even better.

Potato and beetroot pancake with its sweet and salty combination worked well. I used the recipe for Potato pancake and added beetroot.

A Cornell University study shows putting fruits in a colorful bowl in schools increase sales by 104%, that’s double in sales.  Multiple school lunchroom layouts were analysed.

It is amazing, all it takes is colorful bowls, no need for fancy marketing material. I suppose this does not just apply to kids. Products suddenly become more attractive if presented in attractive packaging, or with a model standing next to it! Such studies are great, simple and practical ways to encourage kids to eat more fruits and for adults to buy more fancy cars!

  11. Maybe to childish adults? Remember I'm a huge Moomin fan :-)
    The day I finally go to a Scandinavian country and buy a Moomin mug, I will be the only one authorised to drink from it.
    PS I have made your oatmeal and coconut cookies once more. Even better than the first time. I must post them! You are a wonderful source of cookie recipe. I hope you have already started to write your book!

  13. Love the Potato and beetroot pancake. Well as long as the bowl is pretty and the fruit ripe and colorful. I have seen many sad bananas dying on a boring counter for sale.
