Health Benefits

This recipe is a great source of Iron, which is an important component of hemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. Without healthy red blood cells your body can’t get enough oxygen which can result in fatigue, poor brain function, and inability to fight off infection.
