Ingredients

6 Eggs
1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Dill Pickle minced
1/2 Teaspoon Paprika
1 Pinch Sea Salt
Instructions

Place the eggs in a pot of cold water and bring to a rolling boil, then turn the heat to medium. Hard-boil the eggs for 12–15 minutes, depending on their size; an extra-large egg will take up to 17 minutes. Turn off the heat, allowing the eggs to sit in hot water for 2 minutes, then gently remove them from the water and set aside to cool.
When the eggs are cool, peel and cut in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the center yolk. In a small bowl, mash the cooked egg yolks with a fork, and mix in the olive oil, pickle, paprika, and salt. Scoop the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves and sprinkle with a little more paprika.
Store covered in the refrigerator. The eggs will remain fresh for at least 5 days.

Enjoy as a snack or an addition to a salad…simply yumfulness!

FMU The Daily Wellthy: Chem-K19

Potassium is a mineral – chemical element with symbol K and atomic number 19. It was first isolated from potash, the ashes of plants, from which its name derives. In the Periodic table, potassium is one of seven elements in column 1.

Most people get all the potassium they need from what they eat and drink. Sources of potassium in the diet include

  • Leafy greens, such as spinach and collards
  • Fruit from vines, such as grapes and blackberries
  • Root vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes
  • Citrus fruits, such as oranges and grapefruit

The banana is an edible fruit, botanically a berry, produced by several kinds of large herbaceous, flowering plants in the genus Musa. In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called plantains. Excellent source of Potassium … simply wellthy!!!
