Tomato, Garlic, Capers, Anchovy & Parsley on CORN THINS slices

This recipe of the month is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Anchovies are small but pack a big nutrition punch. They are a rich source of essential omega-3 fat. This polyunsaturated fat has many health benefits from your body including having strong anti-inflammatory properties. The type of omega-3 fat found in anchovies is a good source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) omega-3 fats. DHA is the main source of fat used by your brain. Also, DHA and EPA are the types of omega-3 fats which are more easily used by your body compared to plant-based omega-3 fat called alpha linoleic acid (ALA).

Tomato, garlic, capers, and parsley all give your body different nutrients. Tomatoes are a great source of lycopene which supports heart health and prostate health. Garlic has a compound called allicin which helps your immune system to function at its best. Parsley and capers provide your body with vitamin K which helps your blood to clot normally.

This recipe brings new life to traditional anchovies on toast thanks to the delicious crunch of the Corn Thins slices. These whole grain corn cakes give your body a range of health benefits including fiber to support your gut health. Also, B vitamins which are needed for your body to make energy from the food you eat. You may not know that whole grains also provide your body with antioxidants which help to fight off excess free radicals which can cause damage and disease to the cells of your body. If you think anchovies are outdated to include in a meal this is a must try recipe which will prove you wrong.
