Vinespinach (basella) - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Vinespinach (basella)

• Metabolic Effect: With 510 mg of potassium per 100g, I help your body flush out excess sodium and reduce bloating effectively. The impressive 102 mg of Vitamin C boosts your metabolic rate by facilitating carnitine production, which is essential for efficient fat oxidation.
• Consumption Tip: To maximize the absorption of its 1.2 mg of iron, I suggest my clients pair it with citrus fruits rather than cooking it at high heat. Since it only contains 19 calories, you can easily add a 200g portion to your meals to increase satiety without adding a heavy caloric load.
• What to Watch For: Even though it provides 109 mg of calcium, I advise those prone to kidney stones to be mindful of its oxalate content. Keep an eye on your portions if you are monitoring your mineral intake, as the 510 mg of potassium is quite potent for those with specific renal concerns.
• Exercise Equivalent: Burning off the 19 calories in a 100g serving is as simple as a quick 4-minute brisk walk or a few minutes of light cycling. I recommend adding this to your post-workout meal to utilize its 1.8g of protein for initial muscle recovery without impacting your calorie budget.
