PLANTAIN OMELETTE

 

   Plantains are a staple meal down here in Nigeria. From the fried version served with sauce or beans to varying other recipes that involve boiling or grilling the sweet fruit.
   Plantain, like it's sibling, the banana, is a very good source of potassium. The electrolyte that is in potassium keeps the blood pressure in check, it does so by negating the ill-effects of sodium. And this goes a long way in enhancing muscular and digestive functions. Plantain also contains Vitamin B6, improving brain power. Amongst many other nutritional values, plantain contains elements that help reduce unhealthy cholesterol levels. 
   Eggs on the other hand are a useful source of Vitamin D which helps to protect bones, preventing osteoporosis and rickets. They are filling and when enjoyed for breakfast may help with weight management, as the high protein content helps us to feel fuller for longer.

   One thing with Nigerian food is the presence of starch in most of our staple meals. Today's recipe proffers a good blend of protein, carbohydrates and vitamins and minerals, packed in one meal.
