Nutritional values

Stingy on fat, generous with B vitamins, protein and iron: Pork tenderloin can be afforded with a clear conscience, even if you count every calorie. The fluffy vegetable puree to go with it brings colour and vitamins to the plate, especially vitamin C.

Because Romanesco, unlike its "big brother" cauliflower, is allowed to bask in the sun, it is green instead of white. It is not only outwardly different: Romanesco is also somewhat richer in vitamins and cell protection substances.
