Nutritional values

The noodle nests are really full, and that for a long time! The complex carbohydrates, which are abundant and slowly digested, ensure this. The blood insulin level only rises bit by bit - and with this metabolic state no fat is stored; in addition, the pasta contains a lot of dietary fibres which support the whole thing.

These "earthy" ingredients go well with freshly grated horseradish for sprinkling - much better than cheese! Horseradish has no fat, no calories, its spiciness, caused by essential oils, pushes the digestion and has a positive effect on the gastrointestinal tract.
