New potatoes are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. They contain vitamin C, which plays an important role in boosting the immune system and supporting collagen production for healthy skin. Additionally, these potatoes contain a good amount of potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure and support heart health.
Watercress
Watercress is a green leafy vegetable with strong nutritional value. It is rich in vitamins A, C and K as well as antioxidants and minerals such as calcium and iron. Consuming watercress can promote eye health, strengthen bones, boost the immune system, and aid digestion.
bacon
Although bacon is often enjoyed for its savory taste, it is important to consume it in moderation due to its high sodium and fat content. However, when consumed in small amounts, bacon can be a good source of protein and important nutrients like zinc and B vitamins. It’s best to choose high-quality, lean bacon and enjoy it as an occasional treat.
Sour cream, also called crème fraîche, is made by adding lactic acid bacteria to the cream. Although it is high in fat, it can be incorporated into a balanced diet in moderation. Sour cream contains calcium, which is essential for bone health, and also provides probiotics that promote gut health and digestion.
