Nutritional values

This preparation is slightly lighter than the classic "Cod in Mustard Sauce" but rich in protein, iodine and vitamin D. One portion is enough to almost completely cover the daily requirement of protein and the mineral iodine, which is essential for the thyroid gland to function properly. Vitamin D is important for the storage of calcium in the bones.

The times when cod was caught so abundantly that the whole of Europe ate it as a cheap fasting fish are over. Today it is one of the species that must be protected from extinction. Fish lovers should therefore make sure when shopping that their cod comes from the fishing area of the north-eastern Arctic, which is still declared safe.
