Nutritional values

The high fibre content of this salad is particularly striking; it not only ensures a long-lasting feeling of satiety, but also supports the intestine in its work. In addition, the salad has plenty of folic acid to support the breakdown of homocysteine. A high homocysteine level damages the blood vessels and, according to studies, increases the risk of thrombosis, stroke and heart attack.

Prepare the raw vegetables with organic carrots and beetroot if possible. Root and tuber vegetables absorb a lot of nitrate through chemical fertilization in conventional agriculture, which can be transformed into carcinogenic nitrosamines in the body.
