Nutritional values

With celery, shallots and apples, this dish contains a lot of fiber. The sulphur substances (glucosinolates) contained in horseradish effectively slow down bacteria and stimulate the detoxification metabolism.

This sauce not only goes well with pasta, but also tastes great with jacket potatoes or homemade mashed potatoes.
