Health Benefits and Nutrient Interactions

Olive oil helps the body absorb the fat-soluble antioxidants in tomatoes, supporting immune function and skin health.
The vitamin C in tomatoes enhances absorption of non-heme iron from chickpeas, improving iron uptake.
Whole-grain containing Corn Thins slices add fibre and antioxidants that complement the legumes, helping with steady energy and improved digestion.
