Healthy, because
This goulash boasts a good load of sauerkraut - which is particularly good for the intestines, because the lactic acid bacteria it contains support the health of the intestinal flora. This is good for digestion and strengthens the immune system.
Even smarter
Depending on your preference, less meat and more sauerkraut and paprika can also be processed. This is less of a burden on the wallet and is a bit more climate-friendly.
