Our Extra Virgin Avocado oil aids the absorption of nutrients in the vegetables by up to 15 times. Fantastic for vegans to use as our oil contains iron, magnesium, copper, potassium, vitamins E, A, D and K, lutein, lecithin, CoQ10 and so much more. The blue poppy seeds in this recipe also offer an additional boost to your immune system along with plenty of minerals like calcium, magnesium and zinc!

Made for us by our friend Navneeta Gough.
