Nutritional values

The daily requirement of vitamin B6 is covered by these ingredients alone; the body needs it for the metabolism of protein building blocks and the building of nerve cords. Vitamin B1 accounts for half of the daily requirement; it is important for energy production from carbohydrate metabolism and activates the nerves.

Serve the rolls on a bed of rice, preferably wholemeal Basmati. It is not only a perfect fit because of its fragrant aroma - it also provides intestine-healthy fibre and keeps you full longer.
