Nutritional values

Red cabbage is particularly rich in vitamin C and thus strengthens the immune system. The tender duck breast is rich in vitamin B6, which helps children grow.

In case smaller children eat with us: It is better to leave out the hot spices (pul beaver and ginger) and instead season with sweet paprika powder.
