Nutritional values

Beans are very nutritious, the most important nutrient is protein. The proportion is comparable with animal foods such as tuna, veal or chicken. Furthermore, they are one of the best vegetable sources of iron. However, since it is not blood-bound iron like meat, which our body can absorb more easily, absorption aid in the form of vitamin C is necessary - here given by orange juice.

An optimal value of the bean protein can be achieved by combining the garnish with foods such as cereals, eggs, nuts and seeds, dairy products or cheese.
