The beet, caramel and onion tart not only pampers your taste buds but also offers various health benefits. This delicious recipe combines the earthy flavors of beets and the sweetness of caramelized onions in one comforting tart.
1. Nutrient-rich ingredients
The pie is made from whole wheat flour, which contains all parts of the grain, including the bran, germ and endosperm. This means it contains more fiber, B vitamins and minerals compared to refined flour. Porridge adds additional nutrition as it is an excellent source of fiber and provides important minerals such as manganese and phosphorus.
2. The natural goodness of beetroot
Beetroot, one of the main ingredients, is packed with essential nutrients. It contains fiber, folic acid, vitamin C, potassium and magnesium. Additionally, it is known for its high nitrate content, which can help improve athletic performance and lower blood pressure.
3. Health-promoting compounds in onions
The caramelized onions not only enhance the flavor but also provide several health benefits. Onions are known for their high antioxidant content, especially quercetin. Quercetin has anti-inflammatory and potentially anti-cancer effects, making it a valuable addition to your diet.
4. Eggs and milk for protein
The addition of eggs and milk in this recipe ensures a good amount of protein. Eggs are considered a complete source of protein because they contain all the essential amino acids the body needs. Milk, whether from cows, goats or oats, also serves as an excellent source of protein, calcium and other essential nutrients.
In summary, the Beet and Caramelized Onion Tart is a healthy treat full of nutrient-dense ingredients such as whole wheat flour, oatmeal, beetroot, onions, eggs and milk. Its flavor combination not only satisfies your taste buds but also offers a number of health benefits. So enjoy this delicious cake knowing that it contributes positively to your well-being.
