About Couve mineira
Couve Mineira, a staple of Brazilian cuisine, originates from the Minas Gerais region. This dish features finely sliced collard greens sautéed with garlic and olive oil, often paired with rice, beans, and grilled meats. Collard greens are rich in essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, calcium, and fiber, supporting bone health, immune function, and digestion. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while garlic offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Low in calories and high in vitamins, Couve Mineira is a nutritious addition to meals. However, moderation is key, as excessive use of oil or salt during preparation can reduce its overall health benefits. This simple yet flavorful dish exemplifies the balance of taste and nutrition central to Brazilian home cooking.
