In a curiosity about Dole Food owner David H. Murdock's quest to help people live better longer, I visited the Dole Food website. When you first arrive you will be greeted by the slogan The Dawn of the Nutrition Age. When it comes to food and nutrition, this is a comprehensive resource of internet destination. In the Healthy Recipes area, you can find 30 Minute Meals, BBQ & Grilling, Fruit Salads, Fun Kid Snacks, Holiday Entertaining, Less than 5 Ingredients meals, Main Dish Salads, Pizzas, Quick Breads and Tastes Like Chicken. There is a Glossary, Conversion Table, The Benefits of Getting Steamed, Healthy Snacks, and Put the Squeeze on Added Calories. The Art of the Meal included instructions on how to create simple works of art with food. Dole Nutrition News is a bi-monthly online newsletter featuring information and news on diet, fitness, nutrition and natural beauty available free to interested readers.
According to the website, the information presented in Food Facts A-Z was obtained from numerous sources, including Dole's Encyclopedia of Foods - A Guide to Healthy Nutrition, prepared by medical and nutrition experts from Mayo Clinic, UCLA and Dole Food Company. The USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 16-1 was consulted for up-to-date nutrient facts. A review of current nutrition research obtained from medical and scientific journals was also summarized.
The website offers interactive services including Ask A Nutritionist and Dole TV, where visitors can submit questions or watch helpful nutrition and health how-to videos.
Dole Spa offers recipes for beauty treatments using food. I don't think the company has left anything out in the way of resources or ways to use food. Nicely done, very nicely done.
