Taking food to the beach is a great idea to ensure that you have delicious and healthy meals throughout the day.
When choosing food, take into account practicality, heat resistance and ease of consumption.
Foods to Take to the Beach
Sandwiches: prepare sandwiches with wholemeal bread stuffed with chicken, turkey or tuna, for example, and fresh vegetables.
Fresh fruit: take easy-to-eat fruit such as grapes, strawberries, apples, peaches, watermelons or melons cut into pieces.
They are refreshing and nutritious.
Salads: Prepare light, refreshing salads, such as fruit salad, leafy green salad, or vegetable salad, to stay hydrated.
Non-perishable food: take some non-perishable food such as cookies, cookies and dried fruit to have as an option in case you get hungry and find it difficult to find other options on the beach.
Foods You Shouldn’t Take to the Beach
Mayonnaise and egg-based sauces: due to the risk of bacterial contamination at higher temperatures, it is best to avoid foods with mayonnaise, raw eggs or similar sauces.
Soft drinks and sugary drinks: as well as not being the best option for hydration, they can also attract unwanted insects.
Hot food: it’s difficult to keep hot food safe on the beach, so it’s best to avoid bringing hot dishes.
It’s important to remember to avoid highly perishable foods or those that need to be refrigerated, as the high temperature on the beach can make them unsafe to eat.
