Nutritional values

Besides abundant vitamins and minerals, pomegranate seeds provide polyphenols. The antioxidant power of these secondary plant compounds reduces inflammation.

If you wish, you can replace all or part of the spelt flour type 630 with whole spelt flour. This brings a nutty taste and more fiber, vitamins and minerals.
