Healthy, because
The Bulgur scores with a lot of magnesium, which supports our muscles and nerves when relaxing, and iron for healthy blood formation. Buttermilk is rich in bone-strengthening calcium and muscle-strengthening protein. Harrisa brings spiciness to the dish and thus boosts the blood circulation.
