Beet, a prebiotic
Visit beet is a source of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and fructanstwo carbohydrates easily fermented by intestinal bacteria. As a result, beet is considered a vegetable rich in FODMAPs (caution for those with a sensitivity ).
Wild or farmed salmon?
When contaminants, antibiotics and omega-3 content are taken into account, it's best to choose wild salmon and eat farmed salmon sparingly. Otherwise, we like salmon for its EPA/DHA (omega-3), vitamin D, vitamin B12 and several minerals!
