Nutritional values

Paprika provides vitamin C for strong defensive forces. Broccoli is particularly rich in beta-carotene and minerals such as calcium for strong teeth and bones and zinc for the immune system.

Children love mild couscous and so do mothers, because it is ready in no time. It also tastes great as a salad: Simply mix couscous and carrot juice, let it swell, and mix in the remaining ingredients raw.
