Saturday Farmers Market Haul.

Hello all you beautiful readers! 

Saturday is the day where my housemates and I tend to bond over grocery shopping. We would leave the house together and purchase one week worth of food. Here is a little clip of what I bought today, but I will be writing what other stuff I bought. 

What I got from the farmer's market: 

BROCCOLI 

Broccoli is filled with high levels of fiber, vitamin A, K, zinc, iron,phosphate and phytonutrients. 

Phytonutrients are compounds which lowers the risk of cancer, heart problems and diabetes. 

Cauliflower 

One cup of chopped raw cauliflower provides you nutrients for your daily needs. 107 grams of cauliflower contains 27 calories, 2g of protein, 0.3g of fat and 5g of carbohydrate. 

It contains various nutrients and minerals that are essential for your daily body needs. It contains calcium, iron, phosphate, manganese and potassium. 

Cauliflower helps with digestion as it is loaded with fiber and water content that prevents constipation and maintain a healthy digestive tract and lower the risk of colon cancer. 

It also helps with keeping your memory fresh and helps with keeping your bones strong, and healthy nails due to the calcium in the cauliflower. 

Chinese Spinach 

Chinese Spinach is very similar to normal spinach except that they have a tad bit of red color on their leaves but they are essentially the same. 

Spinach are filled with minerals, vitamins, phytonutrients. Their phytonutrients contains magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium and zinc. Other sources of vitamins include Vitamin B6, A,C, Folate, Niasin, and other elements include thiamin, riboflavin. 

Spinach has a very low fat content, so you can indulge on it without a worry in the world. 

Some of their benefits includes: 

- Good eyesight because of the beta carotene in them 

- They are good for preventing diseases such as Alzheimer Disease and it increases blood flow. 

- Maintains a good blood pressure because of it's high content in potassium and low content in sodium. 

Overall, Spinach is very versatile. You would steam them, stir fry them, make soup with them or even blend them with your green smoothie for that extra flavor! 

AVOCADO 

Avocado are filled with healthy fats that is enough to sustain your energy throughout the day. They are nutrient dense and they will keep your belly fuller longer.
