A winning combo: Spinach & Eggs

While they are not new, there are certain things that we take for granted because we are familiar with them. I believe (at least for me), that that was the case with spinach (callaloo/poi bhaji) and eggs, as a combination, cooked and eaten together. Most of the times that I have cooked spinach and eggs was in the form of a folded omelette. If you’ve never had the combo before, I suggest you give it a try. Here’s why.

It’s healthy and packed with a variety of nutrients. Eggs are a good source of vitamin B12 (essential for the formation of red blood cells) and B2 which plays a vital role in maintaining the body’s energy supply. Eggs also contain high amounts of selenium, which is an antioxidant that teams up with vitamin E and other antioxidants to fight off diseases. On the other hand, spinach is a very good source of vitamin C, among other things.
