Meet Salad Maps, The Sandwich Factory, My Sister’s Kitchen, Platter it up and Platter that Matter - all local food entrepreneurs who have stirred up inventive methods to mix Flora’s loyalty and commitment to health and flavour and serve some delectable festive goodies.  

Love cake, the Portuguese might have introduced it to Sri Lanka, but this high calorie and questionably unhealthy staple has an unrivalled Sri Lankan uniqueness to it. My Sisters Kitchen, a local business that is also truly Sri Lankan, substitutes its high butter content with Flora for a range of Sri Lankan classics such as, breudher, oat cookies that are laden with dried fruit and nuts a healthy nibble made healthier with Flora  and what better way to wash down these goodies with some creamy frothy butter beer of the Harry Potter fame. Yes! Indulge the Flora induced goodies from My Sister’s Kitchen.

Packed with leaves and vegetables salads are certainly healthy, but surprisingly not all are. Salads can certainly contain loads of unhealthy fats depending on particular ingredients and what self-respecting Christmas Salad would it be without some celebratory unhealthiness? But never fear the beautiful, bold and colourful seasonal salad jars offered by Salad Maps simply drip with flavour and is both decadent yet healthy thanks to Flora. Packed with Vitamins A, D and E and Omega 3 and 6 it is the perfect accompaniment to your Christmas meal or can even be served as a stand-alone meal. Healthy decadence, only through Flora.

The Sandwich Factory serving old school diner food has been a firm favourite of Sri Lankan foodies for years. Hearty, filling and scrumptious, The Sandwich Factory has come on board with Flora to make this Christmas extra healthy by offering two mouth-watering turkey-based melts that will use Flora in its cooking process. The Merry Turkey Melt is all about sliced turkey mixed with stuffing, sweet chili sauce and topped with mozzarella while the other indulgence comes in the form of a BBQ Turkey melt where sliced turkey is smothered in home-made BBQ sauce, green chilli and onion and topped with mozzarella cheese. Oozing with flavour these delights are a Christmas must.
