Nutritional values

The carrots contain a lot of vitamin A, which promotes vision and protects the skin from environmental stress. Milk and cheese also provide valuable protein and bone-strengthening calcium.

The cheese cubes also taste good in hot vegetable or chicken broth. Younger children especially like it when hearts or stars are formed from the pancakes instead of cubes with cutters!
