Nutritional values

Pork is regarded as one of the best suppliers of vitamin B1, which is essential for carbohydrate metabolism, but also plays a decisive role in energy production from fat or alcohol. Anyone who eats a carbohydrate-rich diet or drinks alcohol regularly therefore needs an extra portion of it.

Perfect side dishes: homemade mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. Both bring filling fibre and immune-strengthening vitamin C to the plate.
