Nutritional values

This Brazilian fish stew is an excellent source of iodine, which is an important component of thyroid hormones and energy metabolism. The colorful peppers provide plenty of vitamin C to help support the immune system.

The stew remains clear due to the coconut water. It is practically fat-free but rich in minerals. If you use coconut milk as an alternative, it becomes creamier - but with far more fat and calories.
