Vitamin C from peppers promotes collagen formation and ensures firm skin and connective tissue. Beans contain plenty of protein as well as fiber, which ensures long-lasting satiety.

Since brown rice is not hulled and polished, the silverskin and germ are still present. As a result, the grain contains plenty of fiber, vitamins and minerals. A healthy and quick alternative is parboiled rice. Due to the special steam pressure process before husking, the valuable ingredients are pressed into the inside of the grain. This allows it to keep up with the unhulled variety, requiring only 16-18 minutes of cooking time instead of 30 minutes.
