Nutritional values

Peppers contain a lot of vitamin C, which supports a strong immune system. The barley and vegetables provide plenty of fiber, which stimulates digestion. Feta is a great source of calcium, which is good for the teeth and bones.

Feel free to substitute the barley with wholemeal couscous, which also cooks much faster.
