June 2011 USDA updated the food guides for the Americans standard for healthy living. The “Myplate” icon was chosen to grab consumer’s attention because it is easily noticed and linked to eating and mealtime. Its simple design illustrated the basic five food groups; Fruits, Vegetables, Grains, Protein and Dairy. “Myplate” helps personalize the plate so everyone is reminded of the basics of healthy eating.
Choosemyplate.gov is the new site for everything you need to know about your healthy food guidelines. The new Website also has sample menus for the week, food group based recipes in ready to print formats to make it even easier for Americans to eat right.
Not only does the “Myplate” show you the proper foods to eat, but also helps to show you the correct portion sizes. Jean’s Restaurant Supply has a full line of products to help you ensure your portions are exact. We have a huge line of Kitchen tools to help you make eating the right portions simple and easy.
We also have updated our website and now feature a New 2011 Back to School Foodservice Catalog. This catalog has our most popular items used in schools and foodservice establishments. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions on any of our products or pricing.
