Why Should We Eat Beauty Foods?

What are ‘beauty foods,’ and how do they work their magic?

Incorporating ‘beauty foods’ into your diet can work wonders for your skin, hair, and overall aesthetic. These foods are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support collagen production, hydration, and protection from oxidative stress. The result? A natural glow that no makeup can imitate.

How do the ingredients in frittata contribute to beauty?

Each ingredient in your chickpea frittata isn’t just contributing to the flavor but also to enhancing your beauty—inside out. We’re looking at a super concoction here:

• Chickpea Flour: Rich in protein and folate, chickpea flour can support hair growth and health, making it an ace ingredient for curly hair that craves nourishment.
• Sun-Dried Tomatoes: With lycopene, sun-dried tomatoes lend a hand in protecting your skin from UV damage and improving circulation for a rosy complexion.
• Spinach: Popeye’s favorite does wonders for our hair, too, with the abundance of iron and vitamin A that promote strength, preventing excessive hair loss often troubling those with curly hair.

 

The Curl-Enhancing Recipe You Must Try

Easy Chickpea Frittata with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Spinach

 

 

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 cup chickpea flour
• 1 1/4 cups water or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon turmeric (for that beautiful golden glow!)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• 2 cups chopped fresh spinach (can substitute 1 cup broccoli)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Optional: your favorite vegan cheese or a sprinkle of pine nuts for a savory addition

1. Prepare your batter by whisking the chickpea flour, water, nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. It should be a pancake batter-like consistency.
2. Mix your fixings by stirring in the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach.
3. Get cooking by preheating a non-stick skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Once hot, pour your frittata batter into the skillet.
4. Add that extra oomph with some optional vegan cheese or pine nuts.
5. Cover and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away and it’s set around the sides.
6. Broil your frittata for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly puffed.
7. Slice and serve with a side salad or a grapefruit—did we mention that the vitamin C in grapefruit is fantastic for collagen synthesis and overall hair health?

The recipe serves four, but we wouldn’t be surprised if you wanted to keep it all to yourself, since its so deliciously appealing!

Nutrient Breakdown for Luscious Locks and Radiant Skin

Curly hair has its charm, and keeping it healthy and defined requires extra care, which can start from within. This chickpea frittata is a feast of nutrients that curly hair craves:

Protein: The protein content from chickpea flour is crucial for strengthening hair, reducing breakage and frizz that often plagues curly hair.

Biotin: Spinach has a good amount of biotin, which is a key player in the production of keratin, the protein that makes up our hair.

Zinc: Spinach and chickpeas both provide zinc, which is an essential mineral for hair tissue growth and repair.

Vitamin E: Sun-dried tomatoes are rich in vitamin E, known for promoting hair growth and fighting the damage caused by free radicals.

Combine these nutrients in a scrumptious frittata, and you’re treating your hair with the TLC it deserves. But the benefits don’t stop there—your skin’s going to thank you for feeding it with ingredients that promote hydration, rejuvenation, and that envious luminescence.
