Nutritional preparations
Swedish produce – great in the long run! Many know that Swedish produce promote sustainable farming practices. What is not as well acknowledged is that Swedish food is a great energy source before physical challenges. TCS Lidingöloppet therefore recommends Swedish food in the preparations for this year’s races. The following are a few of the many advantages of loading with Swedish produce before TCS Lidingöloppet: Low levels of plant protection products The Swedish climate, with its cold winters, reduces the amounts of pests, and thus reduces the need for plant protection products. Together with Sweden’s strict cultivation rules, this means that the Swedish-grown fruits and vegetables that you eat before TCS Lidingöloppet do not contain any or very low levels of residual substances of plant protection products. Safe and secure foods before race day Since Swedish food production has zero tolerance for for example salmonella and has the lowest use of antibiotics in animal husbandry in the EU, you can without worry prepare for TCS Lidingöloppet with Swedish meat, chicken, or a raw egg yolk on the frying pan.
Charge for the race with Swedish ingredients Locally grown food from Sweden has a shorter distance between cultivation and consumption compared with produce which has been transported from other parts of the world. It reduces waste and reduces the burden on the climate. So fill up with good energy and enjoy Swedish ingredients as you prepare for this year’s race!
TCS Lidingöloppet is proud to partner with LRF, Svenskt Kött and Svenskmärkningen with the voluntary origin brand From Sweden. These long-term collaborations aim to draw attention to responsible, Swedish agriculture.
