Our recipe idea for January
Our January recipe, a minced savoy cabbage casserole , will let you start the new year happily and provide you with an extra portion of vitamin C.
Savoy cabbage contains a lot of it, which strengthens your immune system and your defenses. Especially now in the cold season, it is important that your body is well cared for and can defend itself against colds or flu-like infections. The bitter substances and fiber it contains also stimulate your digestion. You could say that savoy cabbage is the best winter jacket against the cold😉 .
Hazelnuts, also known as little powerhouses, have a relatively high fat content, but this mainly consists of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Compared to other nuts, they contain a high proportion of vitamin E. Vitamin E is, among other things, a very important cell protection vitamin.
So: a seasonal recipe that rings in the New Year perfectly. You can find it here.
