Nutritional values

Whole grain rice with its fibre ensures a pleasant satiation and gives power for the whole day. Thanks to complex carbohydrates, the blood sugar level rises only slowly and then falls again slowly so that no ravenous appetite develops. Due to its relatively high potassium and low sodium content, rice also has a dehydrating effect.

Any other crunchy type of salad is also suitable as a garnish. If you like it tangy, choose radicchio, whose purple colour comes from the so-called anthocyanins: secondary plant substances with a protective effect on our body.
