Nutritional values

Cuttlefish rings contain a lot of selenium. The trace element is able to protect the body from harmful heavy metals by forming inactive protein complexes with them. In addition, the meat is very lean and is ideal for building muscle.

Use organic tomatoes when buying ingredients. They are not contaminated with chemical pesticides. They also offer more positive ingredients and more taste than the conventionally grown alternative.
