Health and beauty benefits
Omelets provide a rich source of protein from eggs, aiding in muscle maintenance and growth, and promoting recovery from fatigue. Meanwhile, the lycopene in tomato sauce contributes to the prevention of lifestyle diseases and supports the production of collagen, which maintains skin firmness and elasticity, promoting beautiful skin. Additionally, vitamin B2 found in eggs boosts metabolism and helps prevent acne. However, depending on the cooking method, omelets can be high in calories, so it’s important to incorporate them as part of a balanced diet.
