Nutritional Benefits

Carrots

High in Vitamin A & Beta carotene, From Carrots, red pepper and spinach: Vitamin A; beta carotene the vegetable source of vitamin A: is free radical damage​.

Lemon

High in Vitamin C which is an essential vitamin for life, without vitamin C people in the past especially out to sea would get scabies. The vitamin C from the lemon also enhanced the HCl in the stomach. HCl is the acidity the stomach needs to break down food in the large and then finally the small intestine.

Vitamin C helps fight common colds, and flus. It aids in boosting the immune system and is a precursor to building your elasticity/collagen which is the second most abundant substance in the body after water. Also the lemon creates a more acidity to the food, which enhances the absorption of calcium and iron to be extracted from the food (particularly from the arugula and spinach in this simple salad: which are naturally good sources of plant based calcium and iron)

Sprouts

Lecithin found in the sprouts enhances memory, and brain function. Also supports the liver and kidneys (the detoxifying organs) to stay optimal health by binding fat and cholesterol to water.

Himalayan Salt

Iodine is found in the himalayan salt. unrefined himilayan salt contains the essential mineral iodine, it is found in smaller amounts in food and in our soil so it is very important to get it from the sources that still contain it particularly for thyroid health!

Greek Olive Oil

Greek olive oil tends to be pure and derived from sources that are free of impurities, from olive trees on the side of hills, valleys and mountains from areas of Greece with less pollution, on a fat-soluble vitamin that acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body.
