Nutritional values
Beef is particularly popular with fitness fans because of its highly digestible and abundant protein: it supports muscle build-up and protects against the loss of muscle mass during reduction diets. It also provides various B vitamins and particularly well digestible iron, which plays an important role in blood formation and oxygen transport.
The delicious braised cucumbers from the oven can also be easily made vegetarian by replacing the minced beef with either soya chips or lentils.
