Nutritional values

Nutrition experts advise that you eat fish at least twice a week. Fish is considered the most important source of iodine. Our thyroid gland needs the trace element to function properly. Iodine deficiency can lead to goitre, and in pregnant women a poor iodine supply increases the risk of miscarriages. One portion covers two thirds of the daily iodine requirement.

With whole grain rice instead of long-grain rice, the creamy ragout not only tastes more hearty, it also satiates longer thanks to its higher fiber content.
