Nutritional values

Those who take advantage of this offer do something for beautiful skin and good eyesight, because one portion of the salad provides a whopping 300 percent of the daily requirement of vitamin A. Pine nuts and rapeseed oil also provide a dash of unsaturated fatty acids - that pleases the heart and blood vessels!

You really like carrots? Then try it with bog carrots (e.g. from the organic food store): They taste particularly intense, but they have to be peeled.
