Orange Sauce
Healthy, because
Even smarter
The fine orange sauce not only makes the hearts of gourmets beat faster, but also shines with its inner values: Oranges score with the carotenoids beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. These natural colorants protect our cells from free radicals, which can be caused by smoking, stress or certain eating habits. In addition, beta-carotene is the most important precursor of vitamin A, which the body can convert into the vitamin-effective form. Therefore also the name Provitamin A.
The orange sauce goes perfectly with hearty game dishes. How about the duck breast fillet from EAT SMARTER? If children eat with you or you want to prepare the sauce without alcohol, you can also use light grape juice.
