Nutritional values
The interplay of fish, oranges, leek, and cress provides several important and useful vitamins and minerals at once. Protein, vitamin C and mustard oils are particularly good for the intestines and the immune system.
If fresh pumpkin is not in season, use pickled pumpkin out of the jar and cut it into small cubes after draining.
