Top 5 Health Benefits Of This Recipe: 

It may be surprising to learn just how beneficial these coconut curry keto meatballs are. Here are 5 health benefits you'll enjoy with this recipe:

1. Grass-fed beef offers unique health benefits: For both better flavor and additional health benefits, we highly recommend grass-fed beef for these meatballs. Compared to grain-fed cows, cows that are fed grass produce beef with higher amounts of vitamins A and E, as well as several cancer-fighting antioxidants [*]. Grass-fed meat also tends to be leaner, with a yellowish hue in the fat marbling, which indicates higher vitamin and nutrient content [*].
2. Garam masala is full of healthy spices: Garam masala is a blend of spices from India. Not only does it taste great, it's also full of spices like cinnamon, coriander, cumin, and red chilis, all of which offer their own unique health benefits. Cinnamon, for example, has been shown to reduce risk of diseases like diabetes and Parkinson's disease, and is also anti-microbial, meaning it's good for your immune system [*].
3. Garlic helps reduce inflammation: Healthy spices are kind of the theme of this dish. Four cloves of minced garlic pack more than just flavor into these coconut curry keto meatballs. Garlic offers health benefits like reduced inflammation, a lowered risk of cardiovascular disease, and more stabilized blood glucose levels (the latter is especially helpful if you're trying to lose weight on keto) [*].
4. Fresh ginger offers flavor and antioxidants: Rounding out the spice "section" of benefits is ginger, a root that's been used for centuries to improve human health. Ginger is full of gingerols, a bioactive compound full of antioxidants [*]. Antioxidants help prevent aging, and neutralize damaged cells in your body that can turn cancerous if left untreated. Even the two-inch piece you're using in this recipe is enough to give your health a giant boost [*].
5. Cauliflower is full of fiber and vitamins: A serving of cauliflower couscous on the side won't just taste great, it will also give your body several key nutrients it needs. Even just one cup of cauliflower has almost 3 grams of fiber in it, along with vitamins B and K, plus folic acid [*]. Fiber is especially useful if you're trying to lose weight because it keeps you full longer after meals and increases your body's ability to absorb nutrients [*].
