 “We are so excited to be back for another season of Colour Your Plate with KOO. Our first season was well-received as we were able to give food lovers the platform to express their love for food and showcase their creativity in the kitchen using staples, heritage products from KOO that we all grew up loving. Nutrition has always remained our primary currency as a brand and with this show, we are able to not only introduce the country to a bevy of untapped talented cooks, but we are also educating the nation on taking up healthier eating habits – especially coming out of a global pandemic where good health remains a key objective.” Said KOO Marketing Manager Neo Dikamotse. 

“We are also using the show to not only entertain and expose viewers to talents confined in kitchens, but to educate South Africans on a healthy and balanced diet through new our brand promise which seeks to make eating better easier for everyone.Through this, we are encouraging people to pick up better eating habits without  compromising on their favourite meals but adding some healthy and nutritious colour to their plates using some of our most loved and trusted offerings from KOO.

“Colour is key to your health, as the colours of fruit and vegetables are often linked to the nutrients, vitamins and minerals they contain. Eating a variety of fruit and vegetables daily helps you stay healthy, while you reap their nutrition and health benefits,” says Arthur Ramoroka, Tiger Brands’ Company Nutritionist.

“My advice is always to try eat a combination colours throughout the day, such as peaches and apricots with your porridge at breakfast, red and green vegetables in a salad during lunch, and purple and orange vegetables alongside your starch and protein for dinner. Legumes, such as baked beans, are also packed with fibre, which is essential for digestive wellbeing and to keep you regular,” he continues.

Viewers are in for a visual treat as the show’s judges Reuben Riffel and Arthur Ramoroka will be joined weekly by celebrity guest judges who will help in selecting finalists nutritious in the pursuit to crown Mzansi’s next cooking star.
