Chowder is a great choice for a hearty meal. This chowder stands above the rest with hearty health benefits too. The quality salmon provided by Safcol will add a matrix of health benefits for your body which include a great source of omega 3 healthy fat, quality protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It really deserves the right to be called a superfood.

The leeks and potatoes add fibre for fullness and support a healthy gut. Potatoes are a great source of folate which is important for your body to repair and to create new DNA. Leeks are a good source of vitamin A and vitamin C which help your immune system work optimally. Vitamin C plays another role in helping make collagen, this is needed for strong ligaments, tendons, and youthful-looking skin. Vitamin A also plays other roles including supporting your eyes to function at their best.

Milk is a fantastic beverage as it adds additional protein as well as calcium needed for strong bones and teeth. The vitamin D found in the salmon will help with calcium absorption, and the milk is rich in calcium. When selecting crusty bread, opt for whole-grain which gives your body all the benefits of the entire grain. This means more fibre as well as vitamins and minerals like B vitamins for energy, iron that assists oxygen to be transported around your body and zinc for immune support. If you are in the mood for chowder make sure you chow down on this one!
