Publisher's Synopsis
Thai food is commonly enjoyed in the United States, but you may wonder whether this cuisine is healthy.
The traditional diet of Thailand features colorful vegetables, seafood, and meats that are served with rice or noodles and seasoned with herbs and spices like turmeric, galangal, Thai basil, and lemongrass.
Food served at Western Thai restaurants shares many aspects of authentic Thai cuisine, although it has some notable differences. Thai menus in America may have larger portions, more fried foods, and recipes that are higher in salt and sugar.
