Nutritional values

Only green stars for the delicious green cabbage soup in the ES-Food Check: Thanks to the clever ingredient combination, it provides plenty of fibre, protein, vitamins, minerals (especially calcium and iron), but little fat and calories. If that is not completely balanced!

If you want to help your body make the most of the protein from the chickpeas, the best dessert is yoghurt or quark. When mixed with dairy products, pulses have a particularly high biological protein value.
