Health Benefits of Speedy Lamb Spinach Curry
The Speedy Lamb Spinach Curry recipe not only offers a delicious burst of flavor, but also comes with numerous health benefits. Let’s take a closer look at the most important ingredients and their positive effects on your well-being:
Cumin seeds are an excellent source of iron, copper and manganese. These micronutrients play an essential role in energy production, blood circulation and the formation of healthy bones.
sunflower oil
Using sunflower oil in this recipe provides a good dose of vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage. It also contains heart-healthy fatty acids that promote a balanced lipid profile in the body.
Lean lamb steak
Lean lamb steak is a protein-rich ingredient that supports muscle growth and repair. It also contains important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B12, zinc and selenium, which contribute to a healthy immune system.
Red peppers are known for their high vitamin C content, which supports the immune system and helps the body absorb iron from other ingredients in the curry. In addition, they are rich in antioxidants that protect against cell damage.
Green chilli
Green chili peppers not only add a spicy touch to the curry, but they also contain capsaicin, a compound that can boost metabolism and help with weight control. They also provide a good source of vitamin A, which supports vision and a strong immune system.
Mild curry paste
While the specific composition of curry paste can vary, it often contains spices such as turmeric and ginger. These ingredients have anti-inflammatory properties and are associated with potential digestive and brain health benefits.
Chopped tomatoes
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that may reduce the risk of certain cancers and promote heart health. They are also a good source of vitamin C, potassium and folic acid.
Coconut cream gives the curry a creamy consistency while providing medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a type of healthy fat that can boost fat burning and increase satiety.
Baby spinach
Spinach is a nutrient-rich green leafy vegetable that contains plenty of vitamins A, C and K as well as iron and calcium. Its inclusion in this curry provides a vibrant color and adds to the overall nutritional value.
coriander
Coriander, also known as cilantro, is an herb that is rich in antioxidants and may have antibacterial properties. It adds a fresh and aromatic note to the curry, enhancing its flavor and potential health benefits.
