Nutritional values

With the coalfish meatballs you cover the need for iodine and niacin beyond the daily target. Iodine supports the thyroid gland and prevents the formation of goitre; niacin strengthens the nerves.

Serve the meatballs with a cucumber salad marinated in Asian spices. This makes them taste even fresher and increases their fibre content, good for boosting digestion.
