Nutritional values

Here you can refill minerals and trace elements: Magnesium for the muscles and nerves as well as potassium for water balance and circulation to a third of your daily requirement, iron for blood and oxygen transport to a quarter. On top of that\'s vitamin A for the eyes (one-third) and vitamin E for cardiovascular protection (one-quarter).

Organic apricots and tomatoes convince through higher contents of antioxidants, vitamins and other healthy ingredients - and through more flavour. And: They are not treated with possibly questionable pesticides.
