GIVE ME RED


These red jewels are among my favourites (BTW I have hundreds of favourites). They are a great source of vitamin C calcium, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, phosphorus and potassium, besides having loads of fiber and being low in calories, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. Packed to the brim with anthocyanins (pigments which gives it the blood red colour) it has also got great cancer fighting and antiaging properties. 

I crunch it up for breakfast, whip up juices, sprinkle some into my salads and brighten up my curd rice. And yes let me not forget the in between meal  snacks.
