Nutritional values

Did you know that Kale provides more vitamin C than lemons? The ascorbic acid supports the immune system and inhibits inflammation. Tofu is made from the protein-rich soybean and scores with many secondary plant substances - the isoflavones, for example, regulate fluctuating hormone levels. A lot of potassium is found in Pumpkin. The mineral has a blood pressure-lowering effect and is also a gentle diuretic.

Even out of season for pumpkin and kale, you can see the kale with smoked tofu as inspiration: Then you can replace the pumpkin with sweet potatoes or carrots and the kale with spinach or chard.
