Healthcare professionals are often hampered by the lack of nutritional data on traditional South Asian cuisine.The Ismaili Nutrition Centre provides resources for health and nutrition professionals, including evidence-based data, as well as recipes that have been collected from various sources, including the communities themselves.

It is well documented that South Asian communities are at greater risk of diet-related non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes. When giving dietary advice to patients from these populations, healthcare professionals are often hampered by the lack of nutritional data on traditional South Asian cuisine.

The Ismaili Nutrition Centre fills this gap by providing evidence-based data from the South Asian Food Survey as well as tried and tested recipes that have been collected from various sources, including the communities themselves.
