Healthy, because
For few calories and hardly any fat, you can fill up on the complete daily requirement of vitamin C here. It is involved in the formation of mucous membranes and connective tissue and in bone and dental health. In addition, it reduces susceptibility to infections, which is particularly beneficial during the cold season. Plenty of dietary fibres bind cholesterol in the intestines and thus help to lower the blood level.
Even smarter
The vegetables taste delicious with potatoes as a side dish - all in all a satisfying but low-calorie meal with the most important nutrients.
