Nutritional values

Brightly colored food is healthy! The best proof is provided by this Asian salad bowl, which contains several B vitamins, including B12 and niacin. In this combination, they optimally support the memory and can give you a pleasant night of sleep.

Thai basil has a light aniseed note and helps with stomach upset, promotes fat digestion, and stimulates the appetite. You can buy this herb in well-assorted supermarkets, but also in plant shops.
