The health benefits of pizza with chorizo, capers and arugula
A delicious and filling pizza doesn’t have to be counterproductive to your health. When your pizza is made with healthy ingredients like chorizo, capers, and arugula, it offers a balance of flavor and nutrition. Let’s explore the health benefits of these ingredients.
1. Chorizo
Chorizo, a type of Spanish sausage, adds a special flavor to your pizza. While chorizo is high in fat and calories, it is also a good source of protein. Protein is essential for building and repairing tissue in our body. In addition, chorizo contains important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B12, iron, zinc and selenium, which are vital for various body functions.
Capers, with their characteristic salty and spicy taste, not only enhance the taste of your pizza but also provide numerous health benefits. These small, pickled flower buds are rich in antioxidants that protect our cells from oxidative damage caused by harmful free radicals. Capers are also known to have anti-inflammatory properties and can support digestive health due to their fiber content.
Adding a handful of arugula to your pizza not only adds a peppery and slightly bitter flavor but is also nutritious. Arugula is a great source of vitamins A and K, which are essential for maintaining healthy vision, skin, and blood clotting. The leafy greens also contain folic acid and vitamin C, which support our immune system and our general well-being.
4. Olive oil
Although it’s not specifically mentioned in the ingredient list, drizzling a little olive oil on your pizza can enhance the flavor and provide additional health benefits. Olive oil is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which may help lower bad cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. It is also a good source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that promote overall health.
Choosing a pizza with chorizo, capers and arugula will allow you to enjoy a delicious meal while incorporating useful ingredients into your diet. Remember to enjoy this tasty pizza in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
