National Nutrition Week (September 1 to September 7) was launched by Food and Nutrition Board of the Ministry of Women and Child Development with the aim of raising awareness about the importance of nutrition. According to the Global Nutrition Report (2020) released by the World Health Organization (WHO), malnutrition continues to be a major issue in India.

The significance of overall nutrition through a balanced diet has come to the forefront under the current scenario. With growing awareness, there has been a shift in how people consume food. We speak to award-winning culinary professional, Chef Saby about the changing trends, "People are now tired of pretentious food cooked in butter and flour. Their likes and dislikes have changed dramatically in the last few years. They have become extremely health conscious and prefer to eat healthy, light, and in some cases organic. They have also become adventurous and experimental and don’t want to stick to one style of cuisine."
