Since vitamin B6 helps to convert and break down amino acids, the components of proteins, it is mainly found in protein-containing foods such as chicken. And this happens after the meal: The macronutrient is converted into the body's own protein. Similar tasks in protein metabolism are performed by the trace element zinc, which is supplied by whole grain rice and chicken. Because of its decisive effect on cell renewal, it is especially known as zinc ointment, which helps in wound healing.
You would like to add more dietary fibre to your dish? Then add lentils or chickpeas. These are also a good meat substitute if you want to cook vegan. Pulses are rich in fibre and contain lots of vitamin B6 and zinc. The poultry broth can be replaced by a vegetable broth.
