Coconut oil provides the good-for-you saturated fat. Cilantro is a natural mineral chelating food. Tomatoes are filled with cancer-fighting properties like lycopene and have a high water content to hydrate the body. And, spices like cumin have anti-inflammatory qualities to help heal and nurture the body. Delicious and nutritious.
