Nutritional values

The low-calorie side dish Pak Choi contains plenty of folic acid - more than half the daily requirement. The vitamin of the B group is indispensable for the formation of new cells - and therefore also particularly important during pregnancy.

When choosing soy sauce, you should take a close look at the label. A good soy sauce contains few and natural ingredients such as soybeans, water and salt. It should also be produced without flavour enhancers or preservatives.
