Health Benefits of Chili Con Carne

Chili con Carne is a hearty meal with lots to offer, apart from big flavor! The beef and kidney beefs provide a healthy dose of protein. Tomatoes serve up lycopene which helps to balance blood sugar, detoxify the body and reduce inflammation. And did you know that the lycopene in tomatoes becomes more readily available to our bodies when the tomatoes are cooked? Pretty interesting! The spicy herbs in this stew also help to stimulate our metabolisms and increase circulation.

Adding kelp increases the beans digestibility and decreases gas!

This chili is especially delicious when paired with our super yummy skillet cornbread!
