Nutritional values

This dish is extremely nutritious due to the easily digestible fish, which is rich in protein, and the fiber from the vegetables, which helps stimulate digestion.

Tilapia usually comes from freshwater farms. If you want to strengthen your iodine supply, choose sea fish such as cod, pollack, or redfish instead.
