Nutritional values

The barley risotto is rich in important vitamins and minerals: The carrots, for example, contain plenty of beta-carotene; mountain cheese contributes the mineral calcium, which supports bone and tooth formation and is important for the undisturbed transmission of nerve impulses.

The barley risotto tastes pure, but is also suitable as a side dish with fish or poultry.
