If we add jam\u00f3n serrano<\/em> to the bread, oil and tomato above, the breakfast is now complete. The vitamin C found in the tomatoes helps to better absorb the iron in the jam\u00f3n serrano<\/em>, and the fatty acids in the olive oil help our body absorb the lycopene, a powerful antioxidant in the tomato. This is one of the best breakfasts in this land.<\/p>\n
