Oven Baked Frittata with Organic Corn and Zucchini combines tomatoes and cilantro for a delicious breakfast dish.
One reason to add corn to recipes… yellow corn contains lutein which boost eye health. Another positive attribute about corn, it is good for energy production, the brain, and blood sugar metabolism.
Why Organic
100 years or so ago, American farming was organic. The chemical fertilizers of today did not exist then. While eating organic all of time is not truly feasible, porous foods absorb more fertilizer. Therefore, the most porous foods are recommended to be organic. A strong immune system will continually chelate (extract) chemicals from the body. A great reason to eat immune boosting foods!
