Nutritional values

Asparagus and cream provide plenty of folic acid and vitamin B12, which are essential for blood formation. Valuable protein from potatoes and fish makes you feel full for a long time and is important for the protein build-up/conversion in the body, which also affects the blood cells.

Replace half the asparagus in this recipe with green asparagus. It grows above ground and therefore produces more vitamin C and secondary plant substances, such as carotenoids, than the white stalks. Vitamin C supports the absorption of iron from the fish and the carotenoids are converted into vitamin A in the body as required.
