Nutritional values

This delicious appetizer contains a considerable mixture of various vitamins and minerals, but only low saturated fatty acids and cholesterol. The low-calorie rolls can therefore be enjoyed by all those who have problems with their blood fat values.

These rolls taste great with smoked trout or smoked mackerel, which contains many important omega-3 fatty acids that are good for the heart and blood vessels.
