Nutritional values

The body needs the trace element zinc for a powerful defence force. Shellfish such as shrimps contain particularly high amounts of it. The organism needs an extra portion of zinc whenever it needs to form new tissue - for example, in the case of injuries, burns or after operations.

Don't just buy any apple! With regard to the vitamin C content, there are huge differences depending on the variety. Old, long almost forgotten apple varieties perform particularly well - ask your market trader about this. Of the common varieties, the Red Boskoop is far ahead.
