Today I felt like having something simple, found that my broccoli is starting to lose its green not going to last another 2 days. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to add it to my originally planned on just minced pork and egg. Well at least I didn’t waste my broccoli and at the same time have green colour in my dish. 

Google: “Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family whose large flowering head, stalk and small associated leaves are eaten as a vegetable. Broccoli is classified in the Italica cultivar group of the species Brassica oleracea. Broccoli is a nutrient-rich vegetable that may enhance your health in a variety of ways, such as by reducing inflammation, improving blood sugar control, boosting immunity and promoting heart health.”

“Eggs are a good source of protein (both whites/yolk). They also contain heart-healthy unsaturated fats and are a great source of important nutrients, such as vitamin B6, B12 and vitamin D,” says Kurt Hong, MD, an internal medicine specialist at Keck Medicine of USC. Eggs also are a good source of other nutrients, including vitamin D (which aids bone health and the immune system) and choline (which helps metabolism and liver function, as well as fetal brain development).”

Google: “Ground meat, called mince or minced meat outside North America, and in Australia are meat finely chopped by a meat grinder or a chopping knife. Minced pork is usually made from pork shoulder, also known as pork butt or Boston butt, and sometimes includes trimmed ends of the loin. When sold at the supermarket pre-ground and packaged, ground pork is not often labelled with fat and lean percentages. Pork mince is as tasty as it is versatile. Being high in protein and rich in many vitamins and minerals, lean pork can be an excellent addition to a healthy diet.”

Here’s my three healthy ingredients combined to make a dish. It’s great to have healthy meal. Though it looks very blank but the source of eating it helps maintain our live to live longer, healthy and younger. Wouldn’t you want to be healthy and staying young forever? Let’s start cooking with ingredients that makes us healthy and live long!!!
