Nutritional values

The Mediterranean meal provides plenty of potassium thanks to the potatoes. Potassium is a mineral that plays an important role in the functioning of all cells, especially nerves and muscles. Egg yolk and wholemeal wheat flour provide us with additional zinc; the trace element is essential for core functions such as digestion, reproduction and growth.

If you replace 50 grams of flour with 50 grams of durum wheat semolina or polenta, the gnocchi get more bite and taste more hearty. In addition, you can freeze the cams well and save yourself the long preparation.
