Nutritional values

Cell protection is very important for this Asian vegetable. After all, the colourful vegetable mix contains two vitamins in abundant amounts that can protect the body's cells from harmful influences and therefore also play a role in cancer protection: vitamins A and C.

Not all of the above ingredients are part of the standard assortment of supermarkets. The easiest way to do this is to go to an Asian store to buy Asian vegetables.
