Nutritional values

The eggs provide high-quality protein as well as brain and nerve food: lecithin. It is a component of all cell membranes and nerve tissue. With its positive effect on mental function, it helps us to keep a cool head even in stressful situations.

For more bite, sprinkle the salad with a few chopped walnut kernels. They provide a tanning agent that stimulates the immune system.
