Nutritional values

Celery owes its special spicy aroma to the high content of essential oils, which are good for the intestines. The aromatic mountain lentils contain plenty of protein, complex carbohydrates and fiber. They also contain vitamins of the B group that strengthen the nerves and blood-forming iron.

When it comes to salmon, it's best to go for the organic variety, as this farmed form usually does not use antibiotics.
