Nutritional values

Spinach is one of the foods rich in iron and is therefore particularly interesting for vegetarian diets. The trace element is needed for oxygen transport in the blood and is a component of the red blood pigment. The allicin in garlic has an antibacterial effect and is therefore considered an ideal anti-cold agent.

You can also use other types of vegetables for the vegetable noodles, for example carrots or zucchini. This way you can easily vary the taste and vital substance composition.
