HCB #44: bout my GREEN!
After my delish cauliflower balls, I decided it was time to make more; only this time I used spinach! I usually only have spinach steamed with garlic, so this was a welcomed and delicious change 🙂
Some benefits for ya!
♥ Low in calories, high in vitamins and minerals, as well as other phytonutrients.
♥ Excellent source of Vitamin K, A, C, B2, B6, E; spinach is also contains magnesium, folate, iron, calcium, protein, zinc, fibre, and MORE! (it’s also super cheap!)
♥ Got some antioxidants in there, as well as 13 different flavonoid compounds that act as anti-cancer substances.
♥ Heart healthy and good for lowering high blood pressure.
“In comparison to red meat, spinach provides a lot less calories, is fat and cholesterol free, and an excellent source of iron. Because iron is a component of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to all body cells, it’s needed for good energy.”-WH Foods
mmm mmm GOOD 🙂
