Egg Fat Helps Unlock Plant Carotenoids
Egg yolk fat helps your body absorb carotenoids from vegetables like spinach. A clinical study found eating eggs with a raw mixed vegetable salad, spinach included, boosted carotenoid absorption several fold.
Two Sources Of Lutein, One Plate
Egg yolk carries small amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin of its own, and research shows these are especially well absorbed straight from the yolk. Add spinach and you get more from one plate.
Spinach Brings The Folate
Spinach is a well known source of folate, the B vitamin your body needs to make DNA and divide cells. A good egg adds protein alongside it.
Eggs Bring The Choline
Eggs are a natural food source of choline, which your brain and nervous system use for memory and mood. Most people fall short of the amount they need daily.
Iron, Then A Fuller Plate
Spinach is a well known plant source of iron. Pairing it with a good egg's protein and choline still makes a fuller, better rounded plate for breakfast.
A spoonful of spinach and a good Fresh Yolk egg, and a Multan morning has everything it needs.
