Healthy, because
Peppers, tomatoes and potatoes provide a lot of vitamin C. This helps our body to absorb and utilise the vegetable iron from this stew. Another vitamin is also abundantly available: folic acid. It is jointly responsible for the maturation of the red blood cells, in which the iron is then responsible for binding oxygen.
Even smarter
Peeled potatoes that have been left in water for a longer period of time lose valuable ingredients - especially if they are cut into small pieces. Therefore always prepare them as soon as possible before cooking.
