HEALTH & BENEFITS

Eggs are a great source of protein and vitamin D, which helps keep bones and teeth healthy. They are also rich in choline, a nutrient that helps support healthy brain function, memory and mood. Sweet red peppers are rich in vitamin C, an important antioxidant that supports healthy immune function and skin health. Potatoes are packed with nutrients like potassium, vitamin C and fiber, while extra-virgin olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, which can help improve cholesterol levels and reduce inflammation.
