Nutritional values

Cumin, pepper and cinnamon give pep and stimulate the metabolism. Turkey meat provides a lot of protein with little fat; couscous makes you feel full and raisins bring pleasant sweetness with a high mineral content.

Make sure that the raisins are unsulphurated when you buy them! It is true that sulphurised dried fruit is harmless, as an enzyme produced naturally in the body ensures the rapid breakdown of sulphur dioxide and sulphites. People who have less of this enzyme can react with nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and headaches.
