Some of the topics to be covered during the conference include international healthy flavors from India, Mexico, and Italy; understanding healthy carbohydrates; using whole grains and legumes in quick and easy meals; making the most of plant-based nutrition in disease prevention; deconstructing popular weight loss diets; and developing kitchen skills for healthier lives.
The conference runs until April 5.
