Certain foods have always been associated with romantic meals, with oysters and chocolate featuring highly when it comes to Valentine's Day.
However, the latest foodstuff being named as an aphrodisiac may come as a bit of a surprise.
A nutritional expert from a university in Dundee has named haggis as the perfect meal to increase your libido on the most romantic night of the year.
Packed with a heady mix of fertility boosting zinc, amino acids and slow release energy nutrients, one of Scotland’s top nutritionists, Dr John Babraj, is recommending haggis as the perfect date night ingredient.
An underrated ingredient in dishes in everything from breakfast in bed to the date night spag bol, Dr Babraj of Abertay University explained why it should be on anyone's Valentine's menu.
He said: "Haggis has the perfect mix of high zinc content, amino acids, protein, vitamins and slow-release energy from the oats - making it the perfect meal to increase your libido and stamina for Valentine's night."
James Macsween, Managing Director at world famous haggis producer, Macsween of Edinburgh, explained that they've just released a new 400g pack of both their original and vegetarian haggis, perfect for a cosy date for two.
He said: “Haggis is usually associated with Burns Night, but what a lot of people don’t realise is that it is incredibly versatile and can be used to spice things up in more ways than one.
“Our haggis has the added benefits of containing natural aphrodisiac and energy-boosting properties, as well as being the healthiest and most natural haggis on the market.”
