Nutritional values

A dessert that tastes good and also provides minerals? Yes, and plenty of them. Magnesium, zinc and calcium - that's what it contains. Magnesium is the perfect source of strength for stress sufferers and athletes. Zinc makes us strong against colds and calcium ensures strong bones.

For the unmistakable poppy seed taste, it should be freshly ground. If you do not own a poppy seed mill, you can also have the poppy seed ground in a health food shop.
