STOCK UP IN BRIGG FOR NATIONAL BREAKFAST WEEK

North Lincolnshire Council is encouraging people to rethink their breakfasts this Breakfast Week and discover a whole range of new breakfast ideas at Brigg Farmers’ Market on Saturday 23 January.
Breakfast Week 2016 is taking place from 24 to 30 January and aims to raise awareness of the benefits of eating a healthy breakfast and demonstrate the wealth of wonderful breakfast produce available.
Breakfast is often described as the most important meal of the day, yet one in four adults still regularly skip breakfast.
So this year, why not give your breakfast a makeover by seeing just what is on offer at Brigg Farmers’ Market?
Many of the producers offer great breakfast foods from the traditional bacon, sausages, eggs and mushrooms to delicious homemade jams, marmalades and artisan breads.
Did you know you can also buy freshly milled porridge oats at the Farmers’ Market? If you’re looking for something a bit different, why not try your hand at making delicious kedgeree with traditionally smoked haddock from Smith’s Smokery?
There will be a limited number of free breakfast recipe booklets available on the stalls around the Market and you can chat with the producers to gain new ideas for your breakfast – and kick start you day off right!
Coun Rob Waltham (Brigg & Wolds, Cabinet Member for Health, Strategic Projects and Regeneration, said: “There isn’t a better time to look at what you eat for breakfast and discover new and healthier things to have. At Brigg Farmers’ Market they have a huge array of produce on offer that will give you plenty of breakfast ideas. The producers will also be on hand to give you some great tips and recipes. Start your year off right and make breakfast the most important meal of the day. You will be spoilt for choice at Brigg Farmers’ Market.”

Breakfast Week key campaign messages are:

• Breakfast benefits you and your family, and can help make you healthier and happier.
• Breakfast eaters tend to be slimmer than breakfast skippers.
• Breakfast provides you with the energy and nutrients needed for an active lifestyle.
• There are a wide variety of breakfast foods to choose from that can be enjoyed at home, work or on-the-go.

Breakfast Week is managed by AHDB Cereals and Oilseeds and run on behalf of arable farmers who grow crops such as wheat, barley, oats and oilseed rape. The campaign encourages people to think about where their breakfast foods come from and support the cereal farmers who produce it.
