Baked Beef Sausages with California Prunes
I have used beef sausages in this recipe instead of pork. Beef, being a darker meat, is higher in iron which is one of the few micronutrients that are often deficient in the western world. Iron is an important nutrient because it carries oxygen around the body, but it also has many enzymic functions too. These functions include helping to metabolize vitamin D and to form collagen, both of which are vital for bone health.
