Color ware "team" appetite

White tableware increases appetite. That is the conclusion drawn by researchers from the UK. The food, served in white dish seems tastier, fresher and richer than the dishes served in any other color.

All this is revealed as a result of a scientific experiment. During the meeting the subjects offered to try exactly the same strawberry mousse, spread out on black and white plates. After tasting the subjects reported that the mousse white plates   I liked it much more, and it seems more sweet and fragrant. The shape of plates played no role - it was delicious and triangular, and square and circular plates in conventional white.

If someone does this experiment seems comical and pointless, it does not. Restaurateurs have long wondered how to choose color tableware   in order to meet the maximum needs of customers. And doctors, nutritionists have tried to understand whether it is possible with the help of dinnerware regulate appetite.

As you know, the unconscious man divides all the colors in the "dangerous" and "safe", "toxic" and "edible". For example, blue and purple color "read" our brain as the most toxic. They can significantly reduce appetite   - That can be useful for those who suffer from chronic overeating. Also reduces interest in food dish of bright green, hot pink and turquoise colors.

But if you need to get there maloezhku child, then choose color tableware   on the advice of German psychologists: the most delicious they called a light yellow color, and the most "delicious combination" - light yellow to dark red.

Of course, a lot depends on what you have prepared. For example, large pieces roasted meat or poultry "tasty" served on a plate yellow or terra cotta. Green salad - in clear or white dish. Fried potatoes, mashed potatoes or pilaf - in a brown dish, but cooked white rice - black. Bright multi-colored salad vegetables - tomatoes, olives, onions, greens, colored peppers - is best served in a dish natural light wood color.

For the best gelato color tableware   - Light orange or transparent.

As for drinks, numerous experiments have shown that most people like transparent cups, mugs and glasses. Of these, ready to drink, and hot and cold drinks is almost 72%! In second place - thin cup of white porcelain. And almost no one likes metal utensils, including - luxury silver glasses and cups.

Playing the role and the material from which made tableware. Optimally - glazed porcelain, stoneware, and not too thick glass. In the bowl of the food material, usually it looks very attractive. Most unappetizing materials: wood, straw, painted or enameled metal.

By the way, the most nasty fork and spoon - not a "canteen", aluminum and even plastic, and made of "stainless steel trim" - they have rough edges that cause unpleasant visual impression. And the most appetizing   devices - cupro-nickel.
