Nutritional values

A cake with relatively few calories, but many valuable vitamins: vitamin C from apples and sea buckthorn pulp for a strong immune system, E from almonds and spelt for cell protection and heart, and B vitamins from eggs, wholemeal flour and quark for blood formation, nutrient utilization and well-functioning nerves.

These wafers are also a delight with vitamin-rich rose hip pulp in the cream.
