Why this recipe is good for you
This recipe is especially rich in Fibre, Folate, Iron and Gut health.
- Fibre — Fibre supports healthy digestion, helps steady your blood sugar, and feeds the good bacteria in your gut.
- Folate — Folate supports healthy cell growth and development, and is especially important in the months before and during pregnancy.
- Iron — Iron helps carry oxygen around your body and supports steady energy. It’s a priority nutrient for menstruating women, during pregnancy, and for anyone eating mostly plant-based.
- Gut health — A healthy gut supports digestion, immunity and even mood. Fibre-rich and fermented foods — like yoghurt, oats and legumes — feed the good bacteria that live there.
