Nutrition among Filipinos comes to the fore every July, being the National Nutrition Month. Part of the agenda during this month will always include the objective of promoting awareness to help Filipino moms achieve cooking that are not only delicious, but also nutritious, which is a win-win for family meal times. It is a sad fact that a big chunk of the population—mostly children—are impacted by malnutrition-related conditions resulting from lack of proper food and poor diet, leading to stunted growth and other chronic health issues. (What is malnutrition in the Philippines? – Mvorganizing.org) Ensuring that everyone has adequate nutrients in their daily diets can make malnutrition a thing of the past so Filipinos could lead healthier and more productive lives.
MAGGI co-champions the advocacy of making sure that moms are educated and upskilled on both cooking and nutrition, enabling them to prepare good meals for the family that are delicious and nutritious, and affordable.
Recently, it launched its MAGGI Sarap Sustansya Kusinaskwela, an informative, educational, and entertaining virtual cooking and nutrition education program that does not only teach moms how to cook nutritious meals, but also mentors them with tips on meal planning, budgeting, and how to integrate nutrient-rich daily viands without compromising flavor.
Hosted by everyone’s resourceful kitchen partner Tita Maggi, and the resident cook-mare Christine, these online allies provide modules that help all homemakers prepare healthy, delicious, and budget-friendly meal plans for the family. MAGGI Sarap Sustansya Kusinaskwela aims to help Filipinos prepare and delight in the dishes they love, spiced with the needed nutritional values.
One of any homemaker’s dilemma is oftentimes about how to prepare appetizing dishes that are seeped with all the needed daily nutrients.

MAGGI Sarap Sustansya Kusinaskwela believes otherwise and offers online modules that provide free cooking lessons that empower all home cooks with kitchen and budget hacks, and recipes that are yummy and healthy at the same time.
Each meal includes concepts and recipes backed by the nutrition principles established by the Department of Science and Technology-Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI). MAGGI then turns them into fun and enjoyable videos. Apart from debunking the fallacy about healthy dishes being usually bland, expensive, less flavorful, or boring, MAGGI Sarap Sustansya Kusinaskwela’s online modules aim to encourage the delivery of deliciousness and nutrition in Filipinos’ everyday cooking without going beyond one’s budget.
Each MAGGI Sarap Sustansya Kusinaskwela module contains useful and easy-to-understand culinary lessons that addresses common home cooks’ questions which include building a healthy plate that is balanced with the Go, Grow, and Glow concept, advanced meal planning to suit the daily budget, purchasing ingredients wisely, and getting value for money.
