Eggs are a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
Saffron contains compounds like crocin and safranal, which are known for their potential to improve mood, reduce symptoms of anxiety, and act as a natural antidepressant.
Egg yolks are a great source of lutein and zeaxanthin, powerful antioxidants that accumulate in the retina and help protect the eyes from harmful blue light and age-related macular degeneration.
Ghee provides healthy fats, including butyrate, which can support gut health, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which may have anti-inflammatory properties.
One serving of Saffron Scrambled Eggs contains approximately 210-230 calories, depending on the size of the eggs and the amount of ghee used.
Yes, in moderation, this dish is quite healthy. It's an excellent source of high-quality protein and essential nutrients from eggs. Saffron provides antioxidants, and ghee offers healthy fats. It's a nutritious way to start your day.
Absolutely. To make it dairy-free, substitute the milk with a plant-based alternative like unsweetened almond or oat milk, and use a neutral-flavored oil or vegan butter instead of ghee.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a non-stick pan over low heat or in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, to prevent them from becoming rubbery.
This can happen for two main reasons: the quality of the saffron might be low, or the milk wasn't warm enough. Ensure your milk is warm (not hot) to the touch, as this helps the saffron strands 'bloom' and properly release their color and flavor.
