Nutritional values

This Turkish pizza is a great source of trace elements including zinc, which supports important metabolic processes, and niacin, which is essential for a well-functioning metabolism and helps protect the skin from damage.

In Turkey, "Lahmacun" is the name of a local type of pizza made of thin flat bread with a minced meat sauce. With the addition of pomegranates and pine nuts, it becomes a gourmet snack. Pul Biber is a spicy mixture with paprika and chilli; it is available in Turkish grocery stores.
