We need folic acid for all cells to operate properly and to prevent birth defects to the brain and spinal cord of developing unborn babies."After surgery, I was put on a low-residue diet. All of a sudden, green beans and spinach were my only choices for green leafy vegetables. This recipe tastes great even without the onions and tomatoes, which aren't on my low-residue list. I used onion salt to get the onion flavor I like. Frittatas, easy to make and reheat in small slices, are great for grazing!" -ANNE R.NUTRITION FACTS: High in calcium, iron, folic acid, vitamins A and C and potassium good source of fiber1 Serving: Calories 370 (Calories from Fat 170) Fat 19g (Saturated 9g) Cholesterol 345mg Sodium 500mg Potassium 840mg Carbohydrate 37g (Dietary Fiber 4g) Protein 17g % DAILY VALUE: Vitamin A 32% Vitamin C 22% Calcium 20% Iron 18% Folic Acid 18% Magnesium 16% DIET EXCHANGES: 2 Starch, 1 1/2 High-Fat Meat, 1 Vegetable, 1 FatHelpful For These Side Effects: (n), (m)From "Betty Crocker's Living with Cancer Cookbook."
