Are you trying to eat healthy by steaming your broccoli or eating plain salads? You might be missing out on half the nutrition.
Here is a scientific fact that surprises many: You need fat to absorb vitamins.
The "Fat-Soluble" Vitamins
Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble. This means that if you eat a carrot (Vitamin A) or spinach (Vitamin K) without any fat, your body flushes most of those nutrients away.
The Olive Oil Key
Adding NAOUAL Extra Virgin Olive Oil unlocks these nutrients.
- Don't just steam, Sauté: After steaming your green beans or broccoli, toss them quickly in a pan with NAOUAL and garlic. You aren't "making it unhealthy"; you are making the vitamins bio-available to your body.
- Roast your Carrots: Roasting carrots in olive oil increases the body's absorption of beta-carotene by up to 600% compared to eating them raw.
The "Kids" Factor
Let's be honestâplain boiled vegetables are boring. Kids (and adults!) often reject veggies because of the texture or lack of taste. A generous drizzle of smooth, mild Tunisian olive oil adds a richness ("mouthfeel") that makes vegetables satisfying.
Make your healthy food actually healthy. Ensure your body gets every vitamin by pairing your plants with the best fat on earth.
