Garlic Prawns with Kale & Peppers
Garlic Prawns with kale and peppers is a delicious and nutrient-rich dish that combines the powerful benefits of selenium and vitamin C. Prawns and garlic are excellent sources of selenium, an essential trace mineral that supports immune function, thyroid health, and antioxidant defense. Meanwhile, kale and peppers are packed with vitamin C, which enhances immune health, aids collagen production, and improves the absorption of iron from plant-based foods. Together, these ingredients create a vibrant, flavourful meal that not only delights the palate with its savoury and slightly tangy taste but also nourishes the body with key nutrients that work synergistically to protect cells and promote overall wellbeing.
