In the veggie kitchen, googly eyes salad is a hot tip thanks to Bulgur: one portion provides just under 4 percent iron and thus helps to prevent deficiencies. The lemon juice also helps the body to better absorb the vegetable iron.

Be creative! You can vary the salad with bulgur according to your taste. Paprika or carrot also taste great this way!
