“베타카로틴을 섭취하면 피부 점막이 재생되고 촉촉해져서 강렬한 자외선으로부터 피부를 보호해 준다”

“베타카로틴은 기름과 함께 섭취하면 흡수율이 높아지기 때문에 튀김으로 만들어 먹어도 좋다”

Molokhia

In our home Molokhia is indeed a love story when it is there on the table everyone gets excited about dinner. I make Molokhia almost weekly, it is my kids' favorite thing to eat with rice.

 

 

Almost everyone I know loves Molokhia and it is a mother's secret in Egypt to feed little kids other vegetables too. You see when kids pass their first year, and some people even do it earlier, we introduce the famous rice and Molokhia combo to them. 99.9% of the kids love it, after they get used to it Egyptian moms start their tricks. Put a pile of rice with Molokhia and hide anything in there. Broccoli, peas, carrots, beans.... and so on. Just make sure to cut them into small pieces and the kids will gladly lick their plates. Of course when they get older they will start to object, but at least they got something and you'll feel good about their dinners :).
