Nutritional values

Natural rice is filling and easily digestible. Its protein contains all the amino acids we need to build our own protein. Thanks to its high potassium and low sodium content it has a dehydrating effect. It also provides a lot of magnesium, vitamins B1 and B6 and biotin. The buttery avocado shines with unsaturated fatty acids that help to regulate cholesterol levels.

Instead of the fresh apricots you can use dried fruit, e.g. in winter when avocados are abundantly offered. Dried apricots contain a lot of healthy power! Simply soak them in water for about 30 minutes, press them slightly dry in kitchen paper, then dice them. The vegetarian roasts are also great with a mixed salad or together with a tomato sauce. The rice cakes are ideal for on the go in combination with a tomato and orange chutney.
