Not to mention that it looks so great!
This ratatouille makes a great healthy side-dish or you might eat it as a main meal with cooked red kidney beans, rice, quinoa, or any other grain/legume you may fancy.
Optimized for Great Health and Weight-loss
Healthy food promotes a healthy weight. This is a whole natural plant food dish that will keep you healthy and trim.
There is no oil that will make you fat as well as promote cardiovascular disease or diabetes.
Instead, the eggplant, zucchini, and tomatoes provide little calories but a lot of nutrients.
The onion and garlic are rich in antioxidants, organosulfurs and flavonoids that reduce oxidative stress and inflammation to slow down aging, detoxify your body and prevent disease.
The thyme, dill, and oregano add further to the antioxidant prowess as well as provide important micronutrient which suppresses hunger and boost your overall health.
For those important essential fats, ground flax is added to reduce inflammation and protect the brain.
