Nutritional values

100 grams of watercress already cover more than half of the daily requirement of vitamin A, which we need for healthy skin and a strong immune system. The magnesium and the nerve-strengthening B vitamins from the mountain cheese have a relaxing effect and help to deal with stress more calmly.

Serve with your favorite homemade bread - that not only keeps you full longer but also scores with plenty of healthy ingredients.
