Nutritional values

The perfect main meal: lots of valuable protein, hardly any fat and lots of fiber. This dish also scores nutritional points with its high vitamin A and C content. Both ensure beautiful skin; vitamin C tightens the connective tissue, while vitamin A keeps the skin smooth and supple.

Buy organic tilapia fillets if you can, as they won't contain additives.
